America has a dangerously warped view of firearms, it's painful listening to gun nuts evangelise weapons like they are living in some wild west power fantasy where people need to be armed to blast the bad guys. At this stage I don't think stricter gun control would even work over there, they basically need several generations of deprogramming. Interestingly you can legally own the American mass shooters' weapon of choice over here - the AR15 - in 22LR cal, just that nobody really wants one aside from a few enthusiasts and we don't have the irresponsible culture where being seen walking around with a military style firearm is in some way inherently masculine. I held a shotgun license in my youth and used to go shooting with my dad, guns were never something you'd show off or glamorise. In fact it would be seen as childish to do so which is exactly the reaction I have when watching videos like the one above or of the 2nd amendment protesters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never needed a gun to drive to the shop or cut up a steak. American's obsession with guns is beyond disturbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) It's not about needs, it's about wants and what they consider to be their duty in upholding the 2nd ammendment/being a patriot/resisting an opressive government/protecting muh freedumz or whatever paranoia based propaganda is doing the rounds this week. They have had the gun fetishism drilled into them from an early age, it's radically different from owning objects which serve a purpose like a kitchen knife or a car.
