....this is clearly in a gun store.
What a fucking dystopia if you can just buy a gun in a store. The majority of people are idiots, why give everyone access to devices specifically made to kill people? Is society really safer if everyone has a gun? When it comes to disputes there's a whole spectrum between shouting "hey asshole" and killing someone, but every other form of escalation is skipped when guns are involved. It's just stupid. Especially when you make everyone stupid with junk food. Then you have stupid people doing stupid things with lethal weapons. Like school shootings for example, which is considered 'normal' these days and 'collateral damage' to protect the second amendment. "I don't mind my kids are at risk of getting shot and killed at school, so I can have guns, so I can protect my family against other people with guns." If you take guns out of the equation, a lot of issues will be solved. But since Americans now learn how to hide from shooters instead of math, I wonder if they even know what an equation is. The US is not far from the world portrayed in the movie Idiocracy.
