I have a 12 gauge that holds 25 shells.


That should keep the nasty government and their F35s off your back bro.

That's funny because europe has black people and we are not getting shot up regularly.
It's almost like the common denominator in people getting shot is guns.
But keep swinging for gays, trans, blacks, migrants. Whoever.


Shot up? Nah
Mass raped? Yeah but good luck defending yourself with your tactical assault spoon( that you need a license for)

The weapon can obliterate over 20 people as quickly as it can cycle the shells, but luckily has never chosen to do so. I must have raised it right.

Problem isn't people raised right. It's people raised wrong having access to guns.

Everywhere has bad apples. It's just American ones got AR15s

There are also European countries with high rates of private gun ownership, for example Switzerland and Finland. Despite guns being pervasive there, they still don't have noteworthy rates of gun violence.
Simply put, the gun violence in the United States is a cultural problem, rooted in 1) gang culture and 2) the glorification of guns. That gang culture is more prevalent in black and latino communities is a different topic.

This is a legitimate questions but aren't those places much like Canada in what is restricted and unrestricted? I don't see many gangs rolling around with bolt action hunting rifles to be honest, nor are many of the mass shootings, school shootings etc.

We also have background checks completed and you have to take fire arms courses to be able to get a licence with a practical session as well as those background checks.

A person with a history of emergency mental health issues, and repeate offender walks in and you give them an AR over the counter and say don't you go and do nuttin bad now is retarded.

But that's the point: is it actually really just a small percentage of the transgender community that engages in outlandish or alarming behavior?

Yes. Are you suggesting otherwise?

Significant portions of the transgender community demand the rest of society to actively affirm their delusions and to change their infrastructure and language, just to accomodate an absolutely miniscule minority. Some of them even ask for certain safe spaces (e.g. female dressing rooms, women's shelters) as well as athletic competition to be compromised.

And yes, other transgender persons just want to be left alone and do their thing, so I'm not suggesting that all of them are radical activists frothing at the mouth. Still, the share of transgender persons who support what is commonly perceived as "the transgender agenda" is definitely significant.

I wouldn't disgree with this but I just think an even more simple point is sufficient.
America has double the amount of guns per capita as the next country. Triple the amount as any European country.

More guns. More shootings.
More guns, more gun culture and all the associated factors
I was reading a wiki article there that said there is approximately 1.5 million registered guns in the US approximately 350 million unregistered.
That seems way off but maybe it's to do with definition, idk maybe someone can explain that better.

I also just looked into the countries he suggested since he didnt bother answering my question and the licensing process is so vastly different and more involved.

Like Switzerland, you cant have a criminal record, you cant have a past mental health history that indicates your mental health might cause you to be a danger to yourself or others, there's a full permitting process, etc.


What a dumbass comparison especially in this topic where a repeat criminal with a mental health record purchased an AR over the counter.

You also cant tout your guns around on your hip like you have compensate for something in those countries, nor is self defence a valid option to obtain a firearm. In Finland for example you have to show proof of what you are doing to get a firearms permit, such as proof you have hunting licences, proof you are engaged in a club for sports shooting, etc.
