But, instead of protection of freedom, Americans nowadays are getting massive bloodshed and fear. The claim that gun ownership ensures freedom is especially absurd, given that most of the world’s vibrant democracies have long since cracked down on private gun ownership.
但是，如今，美国人并没有得到自由的保护，反而经受着大规模的流血事件和恐慌。持枪保证自由的说法尤其荒谬——世界上生机勃勃的民主国家早就撤消了私人枪支拥有权。在霍华德枪支管制改革后，澳大利亚也没有出现暴君。
