      We have social issues… remove guns tomorrow, the people are still the same.

      Many other countries have proper gun cultures. Why can’t US do the same?

        One of the reasons is because Americans buy cheap guns for peasants while in places like the UK people buy expensive works of art like Holland & Holland rifles.

    I used to be anti-gun, until I found out that Canadians own guns at the same rate as TEXANS. We Americans are losing our fucking minds. We’re kept at each other’s throats to distract us from the fact that the 1% are fucking us all over.

      We didn’t use to … until the NRA and America’s 2nd Amendment defenders started pushing across our border. Source

      Look at the regs surrounding gun ownership in Canada.

      Not the same animal at all.

      Plenty of countries allow guns, but the rules for their use and ownership are far more restrictive than the relative free for all we have in the US.
