Do you feel the same when it's a cop with a gun in a holster, getting coffee?

Still making more (false) assumptions. Showing your true colors.

You can make clever intentionally obtuse arguments all you want, but the essence of his point is that an asshole with an assault rifle in a Starbucks is a totally fucked up thing to see, and it’s totally fucked up that US culture accepts it. Even if that stupid motherfucker was on the way home from the gun range and didn’t want to leave his gun in the car, then common decency and reasonable standards of etiquette should have been enough for him to skip the coffee, go home, and lock up his gun before running errands. This asshat just wants to show off and make people nervous.

Idk what to tell you. I’m not having this argument with a farmer in the butt end of nowhere; I’m having it with people sat in a Starbucks downtown on a Tuesday morning.

You’re not all hunters, you’re not all simple folk who like goin’ bag a deer for the winter.

The societal issue in the states is not country huntsmen in the mountains with their bolt action rifle; it’s people who fetishise instruments of death and value the freedom to own them over the freedom to live without the slightest worry your kid will be executed while learning their ABCs, cunts buying coffee with automatic rifles hanging off them like a fkin tourist with a camera. It’s gross. It’s weird. The rest of the world acknowledges it

Fair enough. I grew up around guns. Hunted all my life. The anti gun sentiment is odd. It's gotten to the point that every gun, and even every hunter, is bad now.

Cool I prefer “no show no go”, I also prefer “no shootings” over “statistically low given that there are more guns than people in your country”

Based on the sheer number of guns relative to the number of shootings, this guy is all show, no go.

Such as?

At some point this guy was a beautiful young hopeful spirit full of promise then something came along and broke him a little bit inside and he never quite climbed back out of the hole it put him in.

High centered karma

Ha. Nice.

She was basically stealing bags and bags of practice golf balls, so yeah.

You're making a lot of assumptions.

Botched it :(

Car-ma got her

Maybe next to you! Not in my country.

I’m also not strictly worried he’s a mass shooter I’m worried that the overwhelming majority of an entire countries population can easily secure said tools, and end lives trivially, with the effort of changing the tv channel.

I’d guess many/most gun deaths in the states aren’t even strictly premeditated, just an escalation of circumstances.

Nobody is gonna get into an argument and get shot in a heat of the moment confrontation in most western countries outside the US because it’s logistically not possible

Don’t kid yourself Jimmy, if a cow ever got the chance he’d eat you and everyone you cared about

As an American, I find it disgusting.

What a jerk off...

Ban the things. Zero tolerance.

As I said, if you're worried that he's a mass shooter, I don't recall any other mass shooters that walked into a place with their gun strapped to their back and made an order before shooting.

You'd probably be shocked how many guns you don't see. But they're standing or sitting next to you.

Yeah maybe! Maybe that’s what every mad fk in America is doing. They’re all just on their way home from the range, being normal.

Pretty sure Duane Schultze talks about this AA unit in Into the Fire /s.

She's capable of udder destruction.

You’ve got to be over forty.
