Youre not entirely wrong, but I gotta say how funny it is to see a post complaining about how everyone blows each other's positions way up fisish by saying American liberals want to take away all guns. I'm sure you can find an American liberal that says that, but they're in a massive minority. Most of us would be very happy with Canada's level of gun control. You have to take a gun safety class and pass a safty test for any gun, with an extra class and test and a license for hand guns and assault rifles.

Canada also has a system for helping people with mental health problems that doesn't bankrupt the person.

Im pretty sure that's exactly what the Democrats have been asking for for the last 30 odd years.

Yeah but there are lots of people saying it's the guns (literally in this thread) - that's basically what the OP is about. But even then the right wing acting like scared little babies about it too.

It's just everything is turned up to 11 with you lot.

All the fucking time.

Says the person who wrote a comment filled with hyperbole and points taken to their extremes.

You use the word everything a lot and phrases like "you're all". That's hyperbole. You can't possibly know what all 330+ million people think or how everyone acts and are likely basing your views off what you see on social media or in the news, not real life.
