Without any doubt the US has more individual freedoms than the UK.
Maybe you'd care to share with us which freedoms you are talking about.
Most of the freedoms that America enjoys come from English law, both common and statute.

Folks are so forgetful when they get busy, having guns around turns forget into dead.

Only a firearm can cause an accidental death by a toddler, preventable deaths by the thousands.

What? The NRA argument of "you die anyway, what does it matter if it is a gun" is a fool's mantra.

Making firearms central to your life also makes them central to your tragically premature death.

"I was not even here." True, "Fred Sanders" wasn't. As for the real person behind the name?
