    Imagine being killed, or killing someone, over a parking space at Walmart. Very American and Patriotic.

      Imagine fearing for your life and not having the ability to kill the threat? Very European and “free”

          Lol funny how one is upvoted while the other is downvoted while both not pertaining to cars… Let me guess, all are reporting me so that I’m banned because God forbid you people read a contrary view point? This post is just bait at this point 🤣

              Is it though? Let’s see if you have money in the EU and someone approaches you with a threatening manner what will happen? Your security will neutralize the threat.

              If you’re a government official and someone walks up to you in a threatening manner what will happen? Your security will neutralize that threat.

              If you’re a regular person and someone walks up to you in a threatening manner what will happen? You will be stabbed to death and if you fight back it’s racism

          Yea most European citizens don’t have the same fear Americans appear to have. The first issue we solved was the availability of guns.the person arguing with you over a parking space is unlikely to have one.

            Yeah it’s the same here in Canada. It’s honestly not even like we don’t have guns; I grew up in a small town and a lot of families had them for hunting. The difference though is that they were always locked up and treated as a dangerous tool rather than just a toy or a fashion accessory like they seem to be in the US.

            The thought of fearing for my life regularly to the point where I feel the need to carry a firearm for self preservation is absurd to me and gives me active warzone vibes. I don’t understand how Americans can’t see that adding more guns is the most brain dead “solution” to their problems.

            They haven’t even used their weapons to take on an oppressive government like they’ve endlessly claimed they’d do
