If every American learned what citizens in other 1st world countries have that we don't, there would be a revolution tomorrow.
A lot of them know but choose to look away because "mUh FrEeDoM"
"Fuck free healthcare, education, food quality standards, safety regulations,y right to own guns is more important than all that, and fuck them (school shooting) kids"
Signed -america's "patriots"
Nevermind that lots of countries allow for personal firearm ownership.
Mmmhmmmm... I actually live in one such country, if you want a gun you take a course, pass a test (and a background check), get a license, and you can then go buy a gun.
In the united shitholes of america, you find a guy on Craigslist and meet in a Walmart parking lot...
Infact virtually ALL the gun crimes committed in my country is because of guns being smuggled in from yours!
But hey, that's a real cool straw man you got there! Good luck with that!
I think you missed my point if you're accusing me of straw-manning, I was pointing out that even their flimsy justification is baseless.
