Or you could be under the oppressive British or Japanese regimes. I think you need a bit more of this "perspective" you speak of. Crime is relatively low in the UK and quite low in Japan, and they are most certainly not police states. They enjoy similar freedoms to people in the US (without things like domestic spying and being held without trial, like we have here in the US).
The UK and Japan prove conclusively that gun bans are not synonymous with oppressive governments.
