Yep - note I’m in Australia though. Our government is more the other extreme- Prime Minster and a state emergency services minister take off on holidays whilst the place is burning down!
If you would have told me in 2017 that in 4 years my MP would be obsolete by 2021 I would have never sunk so much money into my Mavic Pro and equipment. But you're correct, we don't know what is gonna happen...I guess if it were for a 107 job I might have a different view but for a hobby? If I knew the rug might be pulled out from under me as is being suggested by many, I'd never had made the purchase in the first place.
You let them take your guns, and Freedom of Speech is kind of a slippery concept there, from what I read.....
We didn’t have many in the first place and they only took military and semis/pumps. Pest control and farmers can still get those if they need them. We can still get bolt guns etc. no issues (but we have always needed a license and possession is not a right by any means). I’ve got a gun safe full... In the end it has decreased gun crime but mostly never having easy access was the factor - you cannot even privately sell a gun, it has to go via a dealership. I’m happy with it - never stopped me getting what I needed. Although I WANT an AR15, I’m glad a few loonies in town don’t have them. And they don’t; no one really bothers, someone with a piece of tube with a 12g round in it here makes the news! We don’t find it oppressive at all, we whine about our government but it’s a democracy- get what we vote for! (And it’s illegal not to vote here - no ‘paying off people to vote’, they all have to anyway’).
Granted, it's all relative. The Bill of Rights is under assault in the USA too. We're just not quite as far down the path to "repressive government" as some other western countries.
