> and it's a good thing.

Well, you think it's a good thing. Lots of us think it is a bad thing. Luckily, we live in different countries with different laws.

Similarly, in the UK, I'm free to buy a Kinder Surprise and give it to a child to eat, and it's a good thing. But your government bans chocolate - https://metro.co.uk/2022/04/07/why-are-kinder-surprise-eggs-...

Throughout Europe, we're allowed to eat whatever cheese we like. Something that your government wishes to protect you from. https://thecheesewanker.com/lifestyle/8-famous-cheeses-that-...

Every country has a difference tolerance for risk. You may think that your weaponry allows you to live free - but for lots of us, it is an unacceptable risk.

We think people should be allowed to eat chocolate and not get shot. You think that is an unacceptable risk.

Vive la différence!
