  • The biggest things are the types of firearm and the “reason” (ie. attitude)

    I live somewhere where there are loads of firearms. I come from a country with a firearm-to-person ratio that surprises people

    Because firearm crime is vanishingly low

    Firearms are tools, not toys. Very few people here think a rifle makes their dick bigger.

    Sidearms aren’t a thing. If you can get a licence to own one, it’s because you’re a recognised security professional, a sports handgun shooter (so your firearms are under lock and key at a range accredited appropriately) and you can’t get ammunition without the proper protections in place

    NO CIVILIAN NEEDS TO OWN A SIDEARM

    Obviously, in 'Murica, the genie is out of the bottle, but their problems with violent crime run deeper

    In my country, a criminal with a knife is subdued with a milk-crate, because life isn’t thrown away so quickly He was stopped without further loss of life

    I actually dislike firearms, but I acknowledge that they have a role in civilised society

    America isn’t civilised, and it’s a backwards shithole that thinks action movies are documentaries

    It’s full of people who want to hurt people, and they’re obsessed with making sure that they are able to

    It’s pathetic
