True, but the gun laws there are still vastly different from here.
You pretty much have to be a legitimate farmer with a pest problem to be able to get a gun, and even then you still have to constantly prove that you’re still farming and killing pests the entire time you own that gun.
The only alternative is to become a member of a gun club, and again you have to be constantly attending that club etc etc
I’ve looked into getting a gun and trust me when I say it just isn’t worth the trouble down here lol -

Despite our crime rate and the fact that these dumb little inner city gangstas can easily get a gun; and despite the fact I myself was shot with a gun; I still think it's better that the average American can buy a gun. It keeps an air of freedom you don't have in Europe, Canada and Australia. It's the Wild West.

I’ve got no problem with that, I’d get myself a gun if I was living up there.
What I have a problem with is people making up dumb excuses to skirt around gun access being a major issue in all shootings lol -

But the odds of getting hurt or killed in a mass shooting are slim to none. The media here exaggerates it so I imagine there it's really blown out of proportion.

I'm struggling to understand why he thinks his Australian opinion matters to us.
Does he feel superior to Americans by pretending his country is more to his liking (less freedom)?
How exactly does that work? Someone should tell him his country is not better.
Donna's completely nuts now.

Nope, that patriotic indoctrination **** only happens in America - that’s how we end up with idiots like MMC2.
I have facts and statistics to prove that Australia is better than America. Shootings, drugs, crime, murder, racism, riots, poverty, disease, medical care, rape - all of these are far bigger issues in America than they are over here.
What makes your country better than mine, the serving sizes at the local McDonalds?
Just keep lying to yourself, little man. -

It's laughable that you think your statistics prove Australia is better than the US. They don't. But I am interested in finding out why you and those who live in other countries find it so compelling to focus your attention and energy on criticizing my country.
It's got to be difficult to be so consumed with this. You must feel some sort of jealousy. Or if not, perhaps you find that it builds your self-esteem to tell yourself your country is better.
Try to make your own country better. I'm sure you know many things that could be improved. It could be a worthy new year's resolution for you.

Yeah, the irony of him walking around calling everyone ELSE snowflakes while desperately protecting himself from having to read any opinion that differs from his own
Why the hell does he have YOU blocked?
