    It’s easy to say what people should do when it doesn’t involve you, but I guarantee that if you were in our shoes you wouldn’t do shit.

      Right? Let’s stand up, to our militarized, brutal police. Remember? They buy from military liquidation.

      Also, because we don’t have universal healthcare, it’s individuals against individuals with a hope of insurance. In the USA, you get hurt, show up in the ER… The nurses are chummy with the police and firemen so you’re right into their crosshairs.

        Non-Americans don’t get it and they never will because they refuse to understand. They’d rather bitch at us and pretend they’re superior.

      I am not telling anyone what to do. I am just a bit perplexed that the main selling point for the liberal gun politics in the US always was to enable citizens to protect themself against an eventual tyrannical regime.

      And now you are saying US Americans can’t protest like the French because US policemen use guns.

        I live in fucking Missouri. What do you expect me to do? Do you think every gun owner is Rambo?

        We have been protesting, you just think that because the media hasn’t reported on it that it doesn’t happen.

        It seems to me that you haven’t put any thought at all into it. So, please, shut the fuck up and mind your own yard.

          I think you are overreacting. As I said I was just pointing out the irony. I don’t excpect you to do anything.

            No, you just wanted to shut talk without having anyone call you out for your ignorant bullshit.
