Not too familiar with our own history are you.  We whined for a ton of stuff long before guns got involved.  

Guess you forgot the night we dressed up as Native Americans and dumped tea into the Boston harbor.

The Boston Tea Party is a horrible example because it's hardly any sort of weakness of spirit (which is the source or reason of whining in the first place) and doesn't really fit because they risked their lives or  prison time if caught.  

Did you forget the part where they attempted to blame another group for their actions?  And they did it in the cover of night.  Yeah, that's extremely weak of spirit and an attempt to reduce the risk.

Strength of spirit is owning your action and/or standing up to take blame.  While fictional in source, does the phrase, "I am Spartacus" ring a bell? 



To the privileged, equality feels like oppression.
