As a nation, we have so much to protest about though.
Sudden gun laws, like after Dunnblane, would have been protested in other countries (like they are in America). The Air Rifle law coming into place at the moment, is a pretty unsubtle one too.
I think you're right about our overwhelming complacency to just accept the card we're dealt.
Any yet students manage to protest on a yearly basis. There was those tent cities going up on public property (the Occupy, movement).
