I’m not a gun control nut at all. I don’t actually give a crap what you guys do on your side of the border. Keep fetishizing guns, shooting each other, having an absurd multiple of a typical per capita gun death rate. Not my problem, you guys go ahead.
People who legally own and carry guns may or may not use them to commit crimes. People who live in a culture that glorifies guns will carry and use them more often than people who live in a different culture (such as almost everywhere else in the world aside from war zones).
Your gun control nuts vs gun fetishists is a completely local phenomenon. The rest of us think of it as a weird cultural insanity. It only bugs us when you try to export it, or export your war machine to innocent shores. Don’t lump me into one side or another of your family dispute. I’ll just be one of the neighbours watching through the windows and glad your silly little spat has nothing to do with me.
