Gonna be honest with ya and a couple of other people in the thread. Saying Americans should change our gun culture is like asking us to change our entire culture and ignore the events of our founding. The U.S was founded on the idea of being free from heavy regulations and authoritarian ideas, every man deserves to have some form of weapon/firearm in their own home and on their person, to deny them this right would break everything the founding fathers stood for. When Americans spread west they held order by the gun, when Government politicians tried creating their own order they were brought down by the gun. People in Europe never grew up with guns but you sure as hell grew up with swords and arrows, and you people sure fetishize about them. Weapons and the US military ARE our culture and can't be changed because of bureaucrats in the old world or a bunch of rich kids get paid by other rich people to cry about gun violence like they actually give a shit.I don't think I ever said the US has to make it exactly like Germany, what I was talking about is GUN CULTURE here, that I find MUCH better in places like Germany, Switzerland and a few other European Countries.
I REPEAT! I DO NOT THINK THE US CAN JUST CLONE GERMAN GUN REGULATIONS.
And I think I mande that quite often clear. But I do believe that Germany, as a society has a decent gun culture, not perfect, but not one where weapons are as heavily fetishised like in the United States. I think the US could do a lot better if it took maybe some leassons of other nations. Why not? No one here says that you can or should simply copy them, but it doesn't huirt to look at what works, why it works and see what you can adabt from it. Europe certainly is taking a lot of good things from the US as well.
A long time ago yanks stole the land from Native Americans and genocided them all into oblivion. Then a bunch of them, toothless old dudes with weird wigs, wrote weird crap down on piece of parchment while totally sauced up. Today yanks are these huge, fat balls of lard due to an unhealthy diet and a sedentary lifestyle, these balls of lard roll down the street in USA. The balls of lard are also medicated by the 'big pharma'. The balls of lard are also armed, they have a gun in each hand and as they roll down the street they indiscriminately fire in all directions. Because of the weird stuff that was written down on a piece of parchment long ago.
And me, as a non-yank, am supposed to be impressed or something by all that shiet?
It's like the League of Fatties from Judge Dredd except more chaotic.

Why do you even want it to change, you don't even live in the U.S.I do usually find adorable the 200 year old nation to think its traditions are abnormal, immutable, or, well, *not* born from genocide and bloodshed. Fetishizing firearms is understandable lads, you don't need to go "let me tell you the story of my people" about it. If it's a shitty aspect of a culture there's little more reason not to change, reform or remove it than you'd have of popping a zit, it may hurt but "as is" isn't good enough. If that's a notion you'd disagree with there's essentially literally nothing negative you can say about another nation without falling as a hypocrite. Which you already may be, considering "much fat bureaucrats" totally has not a representative in the anti gun reform side that has no interests on the matter at all.
I think top meme is the "US Military" part though because even if a martial tradition of worship and idolization of the armed forces is, to say the least, worrying, it's barely the US that did that anymore as of this current generation and foreign intervention getting even more and more blatantly reprehensible.
...what? You can apply the same logic to anything, why do you care about Oklahoma if you live in Kentucky? About next town over? About your neighbors? A, basic empathy and B, I don’t know. It could be that it’s the topic in this thread?Why do you even want it to change, you don't even live in the U.S.
If you believe that the people should voluntarily disarm whilst a government with a history of overextending its power and militarizing its police is attempting more and more to dictate peoples lives is comparable to popping a zit you are a moron.I do usually find adorable the 200 year old nation to think its traditions are abnormal, immutable, or, well, *not* born from genocide and bloodshed.

There's a difference between giving an opinion and straight up saying "guns bad, you shouldn't have them."...what?

What would you even say to people who share this opinion and live in the US?
It certainly would be inappropriate, if I had said that. Maybe closer to "guns not particularly great, psychopaths shouldn't have them" if you want to infer.There's a difference between giving an opinion and straight up saying "guns bad, you shouldn't have them."
Interesting poll result made before and after the NZ shooting:
https://www.voanews.com/a/poll-majority-of-americans-favor-stricter-gun-laws/4845710.html
I say interesting because the shooting didn't affect the participants opinion.
And not everyone is a psychopath, having them turn in their guns is the dumbest thing anyone could do since you're pretty much asking them to give in anything that could keep their own Government from screwing them over cough Nazi Germany coughIt certainly would be inappropriate, if I had said that.
