[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 child) Lmao how America-brained do you have to be to say that thinking 13 year olds having guns is a bad thing is "pearl clutching" No. 13 year olds should not have guns. And I'm from Asia you nitwit. I speak a couple of Asian languages, as well as a couple of European ones, such as the one I'm speaking now. Asia does not have a gun problem. Africa does not have a gun problem. You made that up and tbh it just sounds like racist dog whistle - "those uncivilised darkies and slit-eyes are violent savages! Their children have machine guns! No I don't have any proof, don't ask!" South America yeah, particularly Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia. And so does the US. Forgive me for having higher expectations of the highest GDP country in the world than I do of fucking Venezuela. Children should not have tools designed expressly for quick and easy murder. If you think otherwise, cool.
