I literally can’t wrap my head around the US’s culture.
Guns for 13 year olds? Yes.
Some beer? Are you crazy?!
God forbid he sees a tittie
Forget about talking about sex either. Which is how EVERYONE got here. Backwards ass dumb ass thinking. I’m American btw
Well we couldn’t give them guns AND beer.

That’s not all of our culture. We’re not all the same person and, as you can clearly see, that guy’s attitude is not at all approved of lol
I’m not saying it’s all of your culture. I’m sorry if it came across that way.
But it certainly is a shockingly large and loud part of it, and the lawmakers clearly have zero intention on stopping it, because not enough people want more restrictions.
Im with you all the way up until ‘because’

Our disproportionate political representation is a huge part of the issue, and our media representation is very good at burying it. So you’re not wrong, but it’s certainly fair to say there’s more to it.
I’m not saying that people who want law changes aren’t the majority, I’m just saying it’s not enough to actually change the laws (even if there is a small majority for it).
Things generally don’t just happen whenever the public gets to 50% + 1 person support. Support generally has to be higher before things get pushed through.
