Gary Younge on America’s gun obsession

Responsible according to who & what regulations?

Chances are that every gun owner thinks of themselves as responsible. (Dunning Kruger effect) Yet the staggering level of gun violence that occurs in your country tells an entirely different story.

You know something? I think part of you and probably everyone else in a Canada probably likes the idea of America having a gun violence problem because it gives you a country to look down on without having to put any actual true effort into even fixing the problem.

It's exactly like how the people in my country tend to look down on Mexicans as being 'inferior' for poverty and with the drug cartels and crooked politicians running things.

I guess sh!t truly does run downhill.

In reality, I and others have suggested that the USA benchmark best practices from other countries that have managed to figure out how to have minimal gun violence.

That's because you're a hater who just enjoys seeing Americans shoot each other.

Or something.

It's a pretty crap gun show if that were my thing. I'm 10 miles North of the border and would need some kind of telescope or satellite to watch it at all. Naaah. Way better if American guns stopped flowing across our Southern border and ending up in the hands of drug gangs.
