Not sure you realise how close you are to some serious trouble over there. I'm a left leaning European and I think you need to strap up. Genuinely you'll wish you had in a couple of years.
Hearing a supposed European tell someone who lives in a remote area in Alaska to strap up has to be one of the funniest things I have ever heard.
Guns are tools for the wilderness not solutions for equality. To think that there are so many people ready to murder for perceived differences is disturbing for sure.
What is equally disturbing it is estimated four million women in the US have been threatened by guns. Everyday millions of Americans live in fear and every year it costs us the equivalent of a major conflict in population.
It is truly a holocaust we commit against ourselves so gun executives make record profits and gunsexual enthusiasts can play out revenge fantasies in their heads.
Isn't it an American saying, that liberty is defended with 4 boxes? First the soapbox, then the ballot box, then the jury box and if those all fail, you still have the cartridge box. I agree that under normal circumstances guns should only be used as a tool for hunting. What I'm arguing is that these are far from normal circumstances.
Well you may be ready to start killing your fellow Americans, but not everyone else is. This highlights why gun control is so important. It is strange but true, but those who defend guns the most are the ones who probably should never own a gun.
I'm not American, unfortunately you fucking bible monkeys have dick-slapped your way into everyone else's business and now you all have to make it right. So make like a fucking grownup and fix your mistake. In Europe we have seen this shit before and I sincerely hope we wouldn't be so fucking stupid as to let it happen again. Fix your problems.
I will take that. I am extremely frustrated with our country which seems to be just one giant death cult at this point. I am sorry our country is fucking up the whole world. I will not stand here and lie to you about it though.
I'm sorry, my partner is one of you and trump is likely to sentence her mother to death. (Pre existing condition). We've been drinking heavily. I'm also not looking forward to when he decides to lift all sanctions on Russia and I have no break out the piano wire.
