These little Carribean potentates are far, far, far worse than what we face in the U.S.
The sad truth is that if you're a gun owner and like to have variety in what you collect, no "western democracy" is going to be a better fit than the U.S. Even some smaller countries that should know better (or not) are lining up behind the anti-gun nations, as we can see this week at the U.N. summit.
But enough about Anguilla, Nevis, St. Barts, all of the other little rocks on the Caribbean.
Some may be better than others. Bermuda (not truly in the Carribbean) is more British and less strained in terms of race relations. Aruba is also better than others. But even with the problems in modern America, we still have a stronger commitment to what remains of civil liberty. Which may not be saying much. -Declan
