Time to bash Americans again
-
I've always assumed it depends on what your context is. If your perspective is the country that the immigrant is from, then they would be an expat. If you are in context of the other country they are an immigrant.
Ie
"My friend is an expat who went off to The Netherlands."
"My friend is an immigrant that came here from The USA."I always assumed that 'expatriate' meant that you gave up citizenship in the old country to get citizenship in the new country. Like it's a type of immigration that a lot of people like to pretend they've done because it's pretty hardcore.

It's a dumb comparison, as their reason for owning guns is entirely different and tied to national defense, not self-defense and "freedom"
Still shows the problem is the Americans rather than the guns
-
Most British schools have bars to keep the kids in.
Nasty little fuckers.

Typically because that’s where they’re ALLOWED to live.
I mean income directs it a bunch but some communities are just very insular and like to keep to themselves.

As a gun owner in USA, I fucking hate gun culture.

Build a wall, make the USA pay for it
(Kidding, mostly.)

Why would you move to the Netherlands if you are MAGA? Isn't your country so much greater again now? You ellected your king and then you left?

How big is the ocean between Europe and Russia?

Edit: Oh, a downvote? Guess what, you played yourself. Now there are two. Don't worry about what happened to the planes.

It's not JUST the guns tbh. Everyone in Switzerland has a gun and they don't shoot eachother up. American society is fucked up on multiple different levels and the guns are just adding extra fuel and oxygen to a forest fire.

Whenever i mention the Swiss having as many guns as the US, if not more, and yet the former has practically zero mass shooting incidents, and pointed out the problem of America is cultural, Americans tend to turn a blind eye to it.

Yeah this confuses me to no end. I thought they made America great last election?

As an American, I would like to apologize profusely for the rank idiocy of my fellow citizens.
No need for an apology here, I too am beyond mortified by what my country has revealed itself to be. I do sincerely hope the rest of the civilized world resists the ideology we seem to be exporting before it's too late.

It's not a dumb comparison because it shows that in a healthy society, people don't try to murder each other even given the chance. The fact that Americans buy guns for "freedom" is a symptom, not the root cause of all issues.
-
In Switzerland most people give their state issued gun away when they are not serving. So almost nobody has a gun at home.
Ah but is that not something they opt to do because they feel safe? In comparison, American gun nuts would never do that, they don’t feel safe without their guns.

metal detectors and xray scanning of backpacks made me feel like I was going to prison lol

That's an exarregation, right?

Who the fuck emigrates to Europe as a hardcore American fascist? Seriously? What the actual fuck?
It's funny, the fascists "won" here, but they are still expatriating themselves to fuck up other people's countries too.
-
We have plenty of fascists here. It's not like the US have a monopoly. We don't quite let them run the show yet, but we're certainly working on it.
We have European fascists here. The point here is: why would an American fascist move to Amsterdam?

Yeah it is their choice.

Yeah it is their choice.
So that's part of the same point. They COULD have access to guns and could shoot each other, but nobody wants to. Thus guns are only a problem when there’s other underlying issues.
