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

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”

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.

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
