      I always lol at this picture but also bought my first gun at a Walmart. Did a lot of hunting with my dad and grandfather with that gun and it put some food in the table. Also amazing knowing where your food came from and having that connection

        It is super yikes that it’s so ingrained in your culture that you value your wholesome vibes over not having school shootings, in the only country where it’s a serious problem.

        Get a bow and arrow if you really want to hunt so badly.

        Guns aren’t wholesome, and not required to replicate your wholesome experience.

          I can kill someone with a bow just as easily as with a rifle. How wholesome is that?

          A tool being a tool used for a wholesome moment doesn’t mean the tool can’t be used for bad things.

            Only developed country where mass shootings regularly happen, so, I’m gonna press X to doubt on the claim bows and arrows are anywhere near as deadly.

            Gun culture is weird to the rest of the world. Get a different hobby if the trade off is preventable deaths.

            Or, ya know, properly licence the damn things.

            Practically every pro-gun argument is countered with: it’s being done better elsewhere.

            High gun ownership in Switzerland!! Yeah, because you go through stringent military training, and registration!

            Oh, but criminals will still have guns, there’ll be a black market!!! Yeah, but much, much less easily, with proper licencing and restrictions to only allow guns for things they’re actually needed for (farmers, police, etc). Again, this is plainly obvious when you look at every other country.

            Boggles the mind.

    That’s for the Mrs Krabappels. So like 80% of Millennials that chose teaching as a career, god bless them.
