America’s Gun Madness, as Seen From Europe

Definitely not to diminish the tragic deaths in Roseburg, but since the time of the shooting, almost 1000 people have died in car wrecks in the USA alone

[Sasparilla]

...It is also unimaginable thinking about France actually winning a war....

As of the first decade of the 21st century, French military rifles of all vintages are virtually new due to the fact they have never been fired and only dropped once.

Je suis Charlie?

Europe has been successfully invaded by gawdless moslem bastards and now they are disarmed!!!Adios amigos.

LOL Good one.

[The Toll]

Europe is conquered.

[kitchen]

... mass shootings occurring at a rate of nearly one per day ...

Citations please.

France increased fines and jail terms for possession and trafficking of illegal guns, but it’s unclear if that has had much effect.

Imagine that: criminals don't obey gun laws. So apparently all the smart people have already left France?

[FourPeas]

Again. They’ve been invaded again. They still haven’t learned.

[rlmorel]

Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys.

Of course they view gun ownership as madness.

[MeshugeMikey]

300 MILLION guns in Circulation?

Who knew guns circulated? This is news to me ‘ll tell ya.

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

And we care what France thinks of the USA because.....?

[ZULU]

Hmmmmm. WE have a gun madness. How many millions of people have those Europeans shot to pieces in WW1 and WW2??? -Not to mention OTHER wars. I guess gun violence is o.k. if the government is doing it.

[WENDLE]

But this time they are finished with C4, IEDS and huge car bombs — FINISHED , I TELL YOU!! They are suicidal!! Stop this in AMERICA!!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I

don’t

care

what

‘Europe’

thinks.

They have their own major issues.

[RWB Patriot]

Would this be the same Europe that America had to liberate from Fascism and Communism (though the latter seems to still be popular)?

Would this be the same Europe that was staring wars while America was minding its own business?

Would this be the same Europe that allowed the Holocaust to happen?

Up theirs.

[21twelve]

“Now THAT is madness.”

Not sure I can remember the meme, but something like:

People that want to make more laws to
Take guns away from sane people
to protect us from insane people
is insane -
and makes me wonder who are really insane.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

My ancestors left Europe, for good reasons.

[goodnesswins]

Don’t come looking to America to save your butts next time ...have a feeling we’ll be a little “too busy”

[mylife]

One Mass shooting per day?

Get your tet out of youre arse

If France hadn’t fallen in six weeks in 1940 I might consider listening to this idiot. For what its worth, we were able to fight Britain’s professional army for years for independence (and eventually win).

Gun culture has its benefits (though lately we’re just morphing into an even weaker “France” - at least they don’t let Muslim girls wear bags on their head in public schools...
