    All of your sitcoms are crap. The same recycled gags over and over. Unpleasant people who hate each other snarking, saying “oh my god” and then explaining their jokes.

    South Central and Caribbean duh

    You may have heard about North America but that’s a hoax. Who would be gullible to believe there’s people who behave like USA’ians?

    Canada is another hoax, it’s just the part of Greenland where people live.

    The level of uneducation in the US is a threat to the entire species. Most of Ylyour people are uneducated, fat and dangerous. After the last election, I have lost hope in the US as a collectivity, you deserve your unfair system because you chose it. You elected a convict rapist, fellon, racist, fat billionaire who doesn’t pay taxes and tried to steal the election, your deserve to be treated the way you will be, you made a choice.

    Yes, you really need to rewrite that constitution of yours and declaring something “unconstitutional” doesn’t win you an argument, it makes you look like a brainwashed idiot. Just saying.

    Drastically reduction of guns WILL save your kids lives at school. But not “muh outdated rights from centuries ago”.

    Btw I’m not against guns, military and officers should have “easy” access to them.

    That American exceptionalism is only describing the fact that America continues to have slaves when almost every other nation has banned it completely.

      For what it’s worth, the majority of the nation doesn’t worship guns. But the very small minority that does, like… They worship them a lot.

      This one is far more complicated than non-americans think. I’ve spoken to people outside the country, and they tend to only listen to the really dumb democrats when it comes to this issue.

      You can’t close Pandora’s box. There are 393 million guns in the hands of civilians here. If you have a crazy neighbor with a gun, you kind of have to go get one yourself. That, or devise another method of viable self defense. The cops won’t help you, not in virtually any situation.

          The other realistic option is that he shoots me empty handed. No one is going to take his gun and no one is going to save me in time.

              Well I can’t go back in time to preemptively stop them from getting a gun in the first place, I’d love to hear any suggestions you have for that situation.

                Amend your holy constitution.

                Won’t happen until you stop worshiping guns and the 2nd amendment.

                  “Just do something a large portion of the country would kill to stop from happening” isn’t a good solution, but you know that. If reason was going to work, we would have used it decades ago.

        Funny, though, that there have been working methods of reducing the number of guns in civilized countries in the past.

        But somehow every gun-toting American is totally convinced that reducing the amount of guns on the road is technically impossible,

    I’m gonna go ahead and assume that you are talking about Americans in the sense of the Americans who live in the USA.

    God-damnit guys, not everything is about you.

    Now, I don’t know if USA inhabitants are not ready to hear it, but certainly Lemmy USA residents are not.

    Like it or not, you guys have a GREAT COUNTRY in the USA

    Worldwide, people envy you. The poorest inhabitant of the USA has rights, possibilities and duties that only the richest in any other country can only dream of.

    For God’s sake, people are literally willing to kill themselves trying to reach your country, to have an atom of freedom that you guys squander with petty squabbles.

    No USA proper citizen has ever been in the need so dire to escape the USA that they need to build a raft to risk their lives to go anywhere from their Homeland.

    For that same reason, collectivists worldwide hate you and your country with undying hate. Because you (as in your society) don’t need them. And they do need you. And they resent this so much, that they’re willing to destroy you all just to stop that from being true.

    You guys have lived so cozy and accommodated lives, thanks to the disrespected sacrifices made willingly by millions that you are bored out of your minds.

    So much in fact, that with a little nudge from the collectivists worldwide seeking your destruction, you yourselves plunge willingly into the chaos of unmaking by allowing the collectivist mindset to pollute your youngest.

    Make no mistake, the USA will keep growing and thriving, like it or not.

    But not thanks to your internal or external enemies. That’s for sure.

    Ok another thing people haven’t really touched on is government restrictions on dangerous shit generally. I’m not just talking about guns, but also cars. When I was in the states I saw so many car accidents and bits of car on the road. That doesn’t need to happen. It turns out that if you have proper driving tests and mandatory classes, people don’t crash as much. Same with guns though. Owning a gun is fine if you learn how to properly use and store it.
