if the u.s government took away freedom of speech. how would you feel, and how do you think people would react to that?

Isn't that already happening? Under the guise of political correctness.

no I mean really, took it away... you cant read certain books, cant see certain films, cant drink, or have guns, and if someone comes onto your property you cannot defend yourself with anything that might harm the person, you can only call the police. I mean took away freedom and speech. how would you feel about that.

wait a little while, and we'll all find out first hand. like iamwhoiam said, its already starting under the guise of political correctness. it will progressively get worse in the future.

but what do you think people would do?

You can't have guns, eh? Gee, what nations currently have that rule?

erm a lot lol, but not the u.s.a. so back to the question if you can actually answer it without hiding your ignorance with cheap snide comments which don't make any sense.

People choose to be PC, they don't have to be, they choose to be.. for whatever reason... classic followers.

If the scenario that the OP has stated ever actually played out, there would be revolt in the streets from the vast majority of the people. The revolt would have no color, creed or nationality
barriers.

America was formed on freedom.. take that all away and I think you would see another revolutionary war. I seriously doubt that the people would " just fall in line".. seriously doubt it.

But there will always be a segment of people who fall in line.. the PC folks would be prime candidates.

do you know what I could kiss you right now. with that statement you have answered a lot.

take away peoples freedom and dignity and you end up with chaos riots and a huge amount of anger.

So you respond to my question with a personal attack. Go figure.

My question about other nations is a legitimate question.
I want to know how others cope while living in nations that currently don't allow their citizens to have guns.

no1 it was a snide comment and no2 the question was what would happen in the u.s.a. you couldn't or didn't want to answer it instead you became audacious. if you couldn't answer then that is nobody's fault but yours. I don't spout rubbish I say it like it is and trying to run me down wont change the fact that some things are bad and some things are good. hiding something or covering it up using insults wont change the actual facts.

In order to keep this topic alive and moving forward it would behoove us all from attacking the people involved - RIGHT???

Your question:

And I would turn that around to remind you that there are pockets of that happening right now {has been for sometime}...in those 'Right Leaning Bible' states! Books come into a Library and just never appear on the shelf - 'why, you ask?' Because the Librarian takes it upon herself to become the CENSOR for the entire community and puts the book aside - Doubt my word...test it out and go see if there's a highly suggestive print {Shades of Gray} on your local library book shelve and then request it. Even some political books written about GWB have not shown up on books shelves! Censorship and you aren't aware of it!

Video's Rental; from that local MOM & POP STORE...they too are being censored and you'll never know unless you ask for specific movie and it's release date!

So our 'Freedom of Speech' is being monitored by the very locations that we are suppose to be able to get our 'FREE READING' material and movie rental and most of 'John Q Public' have no idea!

Ever have a horrible local event happen and have 3 media outlets cover it; you'll have 3 shaded POV's over what took place and somewhere in the middle of all those might - just might be the close to but not quite truth! Whether it be a fire/murder/bank robbery/tornado/blizzard...it just seems to be the way we get SERVED our news any more and it's even worse on the National Media Coverage.

But that's my opinion; our 'Free Speech' has been being squeezed and most likely has been my entire life time! APATHY...is taking hold and resistance grows stronger!

Urmmm, he answered what he thought might happen. But what is actually happening is that people are falling in line because of political correctness. They fail to realize that their constitutional rights are slowly being eroded. They don't choose to be PC. It is thrust upon them by the media and the public. If they speak out of order, they lose jobs, reputation and their social standing. Look what happened to billionaire Donald Sterling. Please research.

I didn't try to run you or anyone else down.
I asked a legitimate question.
How do others handle living in nations that don't allow residents to have guns?
If we know how others handle it, then we might have a clue as to how Americans would handle it.

Civilised ones who don't dish out firearms licences to guys with ALF masks on? ha ha

im going to have to say devildog has said all there is to say, because he was straight to the point.

No, he wasn't. You just liked his OPINION because he agreed with your flawed views without looking at the actual facts. DD, please don't encourage the ignorance. Thanks.

hence riots and anger.
