Americans think that the US will never have door to door gun confiscation in the future because the USA has never had door to door gun confiscation in the past, but Americans also once said that the US will never have checkpoints in the future because the USA has never had checkpoints in the past.
Does anyone get the feeling that if our overlords decreed that everyone must have their thumbs amputated, Americans would agree that the law makes sense and must be obeyed?
