PHOENIX (AP) — Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance said Thursday that he lamented that school shootings are a “fact of life" and argued the U.S.
No, according to types like Vance, you live in an oppressive hellscape worse than any on the planet.
I ended up on a YouTube video of an officer involved shooting in QLD. The amount of comments gleefully exclaiming “but I thought Aus outlawed all guns?”, “lucky guns are illegal there” and further carry on about all the laws “forcibly” being brought in doing nothing. The amount of comment saying it was retribution for covid lockdown (lmao). This country doesn’t exist except as a political talking point to some of those types.
Haha, yeah, guns are totally legal here. I have a lot of friends with guns and even two friends that make a living off shooting. The difference between here and the US is that they’re seen as tools that easily have deadly consequence if abused and therefore are regulated as such. Some gun owners in the US will be like, “Duh”, but the laws in the US do not reflect the same sentiment. Everyone has a right to firearms, but the public servants have measures in place that first say, “Okay, but why?” I mean, I’d love a to have a lot of things on my property, but obviously that’s no possible in the interests of public safety.
That QLD shooting can happen (and will), but not with the regularity of more torn countries. Certainly not ones like the USA which are sort of in a league of their own with a handful of other countries that at least have an excuse like drug cartels and rampant crinal warfare.
Oh, wait. There I go thinking I live in Australia and it’s real again. Gawsh, I’m so conditioned.
I wonder how other countries deal with this fact of life
What makes you think that other countries are real?
Well apparently I’m actually in some sort of Truman Show dome.
Australia Doesn’t Exist
And y’all know about the so-called “gun laws” here and how swiftly and easily everything got changed. Seems too good to be true 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Sounds fake, I’m gonna need another mountain of needlessly dead children to find out.
This place is fucking stupid.

We’re #1! We’re #1! We’re #1!
-Americans probably
Wait til you look at homicide by firearm and realise that the US is more dangerous that some countries in active war.
