You’re just clutching your pearls thinking “Children with guns in polite society? Good heavens!!!”
Stop this nonsense. You only hear about the USA because you are on USA focused social media and you can’t speak any language used in Asia, Africa, or South America where they have 13 year olds with machine guns.
Lmao how America-brained do you have to be to say that thinking 13 year olds having guns is a bad thing is “pearl clutching”
No. 13 year olds should not have guns.
And I’m from Asia you nitwit. I speak a couple of Asian languages, as well as a couple of European ones, such as the one I’m speaking now.
Asia does not have a gun problem. Africa does not have a gun problem. You made that up and tbh it just sounds like racist dog whistle - “those uncivilised darkies and slit-eyes are violent savages! Their children have machine guns! No I don’t have any proof, don’t ask!”
South America yeah, particularly Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia. And so does the US. Forgive me for having higher expectations of the highest GDP country in the world than I do of fucking Venezuela.
Children should not have tools designed expressly for quick and easy murder. If you think otherwise, cool. Have a good think about it next time you’re on the bus and a child shoots you when you do something to mildly inconvenience him.

I didn’t.
And the facts I gave you spoke for themselves. Your argument practically mocks itself.
Come on. Where’s your evidence of Asia and Africa having gin problems? Of kids with machine guns?

Gotta give you credit, it was very clever of you to link to an article without any real stats, but which makes it sound really rife.
It was a good try, but no.
United States: 11 gun deaths per 100k.
South Africa: 6 gun deaths per 100k.
South Africa is the most violent place in Africa by far, and isn’t representative of Africa at all, and still has a gun homicide rate that’s roughly half of the US.

Why are you putting words in my mouth?
You posted an article with no real stats, and you cherrypicked one of the most violent countries on the planet.
I provided real stats.
I don’t think you understand what the “ok boomer” meme is.

I can’t believe France’s gun homicide rate doesn’t even include all the shootings in WW1 😡😡😡
These stats are unamerican commie propaganda 😡😡😡

Nice deflection. Completely ignoring the comment.
And no thanks, you don’t seem particularly interesting. Just a run-of-the-mill US conservative. They’re ten a penny.

Talks usual conservative talking points
Casually uses racist dog whistle against Asians and Africans
Has extensive post history in a sub called “conservative”
“Nice try calling me conservative” 🤡
And again dodging the actual content of my reply. Interesting.
Did you read my comments in the conservative community? You should, because you’ve got me all wrong.
All this is because of…
Something that gets reported on… in the news that you see. You don’t read all the news.
At this point it’s pretty clear you’re foaming at the mouth, so I’m going to block you. I suggest you do the same to me. Have a wonderful night.

Really only South America (actually mostly central America and Brazil) and South Africa, Mali and Somalia fit into that stereotype. The rest of Africa and all of Asia (except Thailand, which is still significantly lower than the US) have very low rates of gun violence.
