That’s because they’re complaining about all their other rights being taken away en masse.

Wanna know what makes things like protests work in the U.S.? That’s right, the underlying threat of violence (with guns).

I can’t believe it, there are posts daily about authoritarianism on the rise globally (that means in the U.S. too) and there are still idiots that think guns are the problem. It’s genuinely mindblowing. You’re just another authoritarian that paints itself in leftist colors.

Weird how little you have to say.

Remember, you don’t live here. Don’t weigh in on things that don’t concern you. Ok buddy?

Oh and you are absolutely an authoritarian, judging from your comments. You are the reason I will not stop advocating for gun rights.

Stay mad you wannabe dictator.

Want me to say more? Okay!

I live in Seattle WA. So according to your rules- I can say however much or little I wish. And for the record- the same would go regardless of wether or not I live in the states or abroad. It’s only fuckwits like you that think there’s some unwritten rule that dictates who can and can’t speak up based on the irrelevant notion that the geographical location of one’s birth is what permits the right to opine.

But I’m guessing this doesn’t stop your dumb ass from sharing what you think of other countries, does it?

I’m also guessing that the reason you thought I was a foreigner is because your limited logical processes couldn’t possibly fathom a born-and-and-raised American speaking negatively about their country could you? Yeah. That’s called “free speech.” Brave men and women throughout our history have died for this right, remember?

And for the record… blowhard douchebags like yourself are you are exactly why people hate Americans. If it’s not your insufferable smug arrogance, it’s your willful ignorance when discussing things you know nothing about, and the false notion that you have some sort of authority in delegating what people can and cannot do with their own bodies and lives.

And sadly, your obnoxious bullshit happens to be so loud that it drowns out any reasonable discussion. So foreigners are left to assume it’s just people like you that live here.

So how about you stop fucking it up for the rest of us, sit down, shut up and get yourself a bit of common sense and self-awareness before you chose to embarrass yourself on the internet.

Was that enough, Cletus? Should I say more?
