Always wondered WTF about Americans just wanting to make an excuse to do a massive shotting of any bullshit..
Good that punk got out of the streets, but really? Having so much reasons to do a massive shotting and some people planning to do it cos women rejected them? LMAO.
I know you can buy guns but are not they supposed to be for self-protect?
Can't imagine living in a constant fear of being caught in a massive shotting.
You keep saying mass-shot and it makes me think you're talking about using buckshot or birdshot in a shotgun.
We don't though. If you live near one, you might be a bit spooked for a few weeks or months, but eventually, it goes away and you stop thinking about it.
Fixed mate thx for the feedback I'm not from the US, anyway I understand y'all just get used to it.
It's like someone from Germany hearing there was a shooting in Portugal. That's terrible, but not really that close to me, not in my state. You just deal with it and go on. Overall the risk of being in a car accident fatality is way higher than the risk of being shot, and there are more cars on the road than ever.
