I thought the UK was several countries, or somethign like that? Most democractic eh? Can they own whatever fire arms they want? No.. my point exactly.
To be the most Democractic.. you also have to be the moswt free from government control, oppression, etc.

True democracy never works out in society. I don't even consider owning a gun a freedom. A gun is a tool for hunting (At least, for me. I don't know about the other people on this website). I don't need to use a gun to hunt. I can fish and use a knife. A gun just makes things easier.

由Icy Wind编辑： 7/23/2013 6:28:23 PMNot really. In the same country that has spied on governments and people throughout the world, including most of it's own people, a gun isn't going to mean you have freedom. Face it. America isn't the most democratic place. Plus, look at all our political turmoil. [url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/21/democracy-index-2013-economist-intelligence-unit_n_2909619.html#slide=2244184]Here[/url] in an article on the Most Democratic Countries in the World. Let me show you some quotes. [quote]The Democracy Index analyzes 165 independent countries and two territories to show the status of regional and worldwide democracy. The index uses five criteria: electoral process and pluralism; civil liberties; the functioning of government; political participation; and political culture. Each nation is categorized across gradient levels of regimes: full democracies, flawed democracies, hybrid regimes, and authoritarian regimes. [/quote] [quote]Perhaps unsurprisingly, the most democratic countries are found in Scandinavia, with Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and Denmark occupying the first four spots on the list, and New Zealand rounding out the top five. [/quote] [quote] The report writes that some countries in the West are struggling to maintain long-established democratic systems due to political infighting, declining participation, and the sacrifice of civil liberties in the name of national security. The U.S., for example, ranks 21st on the list, behind such democratic bastions as Uruguay, Mauritius, and South Korea. The lowest scores Washington received were in the categories of political participation and functioning of government.[/quote]
