If every American learned what citizens in other 1st world countries have that we don't, there would be a revolution tomorrow.

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.

We literally are under coup rule and all anyone is *doing is making up rude nicknames for the coup front man.
