    Your name is different than the person I replied to and I don’t know why you’re here. I’ve never made the point that I think the US doesn’t have a gun problem. We have a problem with regulations that is difficult to resolve because the national government can’t set standards, state governments have different standards, but the doesn’t fucking matter when states legally must acknowledge each other’s licenses, so many people drive to the shittty states and come back.bor they just live in shitty states. Or many issues around the nature of the federal system.

    I don’t even know why you’re here talking to me being all high and mighty when you’re totally okay with guns in your own nation for non-critcal reasons as well. You only have a hardline stance about guns existing in the US apparently. You’re shitting on us not for not having good enough regulation of guns which is totally valid, but also for apparently not being better than your own country, which again will allow you to have guns even if it’s not absolutely critical. You don’t have to make the case that you absolutely need a gun in Australia. You can just be like “I just shooting at ranges lol” and they will absolutely give you a license if you under go all the training.

    This is the BS I hate. Yes the US has a problem, mostly owing to the nature of thr US being 50 countries in a trench coat in many cases. But people acting like guns are absolutely abhorrent and their country wouldn’t allow them for frivolous reasons like collecting 200 of them (this is totally legal in Australia too BTW) makes me so mad. Be at mad are your own fucking country before getting indignant about a country you don’t even live for not accomplishing things your own nation hasn’t.

      I’m allowed to reply to whatever comment I want, and you started by replying to one of my comments in the first place. And don’t act like it’s exactly the same, because the difference is we don’t have more mass shootings per week than there are days, and guns are significantly more difficult to obtain here than over there. And don’t act like it’s a state issue when it’s a collective mindset of the country and that’s the reason they haven’t been properly regulated at a federal level yet. The US is completely backward in this regard and the amount of feral pigs you have there is no excuse for the amount of guns.
