    My comment was about the irony them “escaping” to have freedom of speech, gun freedom and trial by jury of their peers to a country that has none of those, not being a bad place to live. It’s not about “other countries”. Other countries can do whatever they want.

    (yea, I think I commented in the wrong thread, this was meant to go on the other one where magats ponder moving to russia)

      Yeah, my point is, comparing them to constitutional amendments doesn’t make too much sense for the rest of us.

      But you know, I think they do have trial by jury. Just, I think like the elections there, the jury gets told the result, before they decide it.

      If they want to own guns, no problem. The government will supply them, and even provide transportation to a place they can use them. (I hope the /s is implied here).
