I already wouldn’t have gone to that country if you paid me. They let any idiot carry a fucking gun.

I’m not gonna say gun violence isn’t a problem here but…this reminds me of rightwingers going on about violence in Chicago. The reality is that most of the gun violence is isolated to certain areas and Chicago is a big place…the US is even bigger.

And it’s not like you’re being invited to visit a high school

We have lost 1.5 million people to gun violence the last three decades. More than every US soldier in every war combined. To pussy foot around with this is pretty ridiculous.

It’s not downplaying it at all, I’m saying gun violence being a significant factor in choosing not to travel in the US is pretty ridiculous.
