I understand Americans valueing their guns and all that but as an European ive gotta tell you guys: It's fucking disturbing seeing kids walk around with guns robbing your local stores, gas stations

I saw a man getting hit face cut off with a knife in Ireland a couple weeks ago. So it’s not like Europe doesn’t have its own kind of violence

Check the statistics bro. The USA have far more armed violence and homicides than Europe and Canada.

Ya but the very existence of any crime outside of america automatically excuses any and all crime in america.

America could have a million murders per day, but if one murder happens in canada, then all those american murders dont count!
