As a non-American, can I just say: get your shit together and ban guns as you clearly can’t be trusted with them as a country.
Fully expecting to get downvoted by the “but it’s mah hobby” brigade. Get a new hobby, there’s peoples lives at stake.
And as an American, all i have to say is
Sure, we will just march on up to the Capitol amidst all the lobbiers and gun obsessed GoP fascists and tell them, "Please stop, someone from lemmy who isn't even American says that's all we need to do."
If you aren't American, keep your mouth shut on what we "should" do. Many, many of us are tired of these shootings, and on top of it all, our democracy is at stake, along with our ways of life to boot. Our country is failing, and all we can do is VOTE. It's not that fucking easy. Stop accusing our entire country of this bullshit like we want it. The majority of us aren't like this.
Y'all became a country by rebelling and telling England to fuck off also because of the whole "no taxation without representation".
Yeah and it's 2024. Any kind of rebellion risks us getting bodied by our high powered military. We have families.
Then, keep your steady rhythm of mass and school shootings.
Yup, it's SO easy to just force them to ban guns. Do you realize just how many MAGA gun nut freaks are eager for just one reason to pull the trigger? Fuck off
