You can have common sense gun control means without going full Australia.

Lol Australia? Look at how many mass shootings Australia has vs you gun retards. Glad I can send my kids to school without fear of them being shot. Fucking gun nut spastic Americans, honestly. At least my kids won't get shot for no reason. Hurr durr I need a killing machine /s. Absolutely ridiculous logic. Do you even know what the word amendment means? Fuck me, why are you not allowed to build a nuke?

Yeah, fully aware that this is a US instance... please ratify my point and click the down arrow.

The people downvoting you might not be the gun fetishist you imagine, they might just not like the language you use.

It's not, it was created in the Netherlands.

you gun retards
spastic

We stopped saying "retard" a couple of decades ago, and depending on where you are in the world, "spastic" also isn't used anymore.
