    Don’t even pretend you care about Shinzo when you could care less about millions of Americans.

    Guess how many gun related child deaths this year in Japan. Fucking zero.

    It is like your own pet holocaust we all have to live with just so you can LARP about killing people.

      I’m not claiming “America eradicated gun crime” like you are for japan lol. I’m claiming that “just because someone owns guns doesn’t mean they’ll shoot theirwifechildrenyaddayadda.”

        No you were claiming that you need a light on your gun so you can tell whether or not they are the person your intending to kill. I am sure they are the bad guy in your fantasy or whatever bullshit goes through your head.

        Clearly there are some people who could handle firearms and use them responsibly. You are just not one of them.

          If you’re questioning “burglar or wife” because “dark?” Yeah, “flashlight” solves that real fast. You don’t think a flashlight will help you see whether someone is your wife or a burglar? Your wife look like a lot of burglars or something? Why are you so against gun safety lmao? It’s really strange tbh.

          No u lol, you’re the one advocating against best safety practices for cool alpha internet points, seek help.
