The right to keep and bear arms is something that’s pretty much unique to the United States. Sure, Mexico pays lip service to that right, but looking at how that goes down that way, it’s not something that really exists there.
Just here.
But not everyone is cool with that. Foreigners often have this insane desire to tell us what we should do with our guns, even though they’re the ones watching doors get kicked in over memes.
And then you have those Americans who think we somehow should follow the rest of the world down that pathway.
That’s the take that’s celebrated in a piece I came across earlier today.
It started with a “Maga” take that the publication thought was silly or something.

Now, personally, it wouldn’t bother me in the least. I think people can and should be armed at work. I might check out what she’s sporting to see if it’s something I haven’t had the chance to shoot, and if I haven’t, I’ll ask her what she thinks of it, but that’s about it.
Yet this publication, called The Poke for some inane reason, decided to focus on a number of anti-gun replies, before it gets to the one that they think is the ultimate take.
Gonna make a lot of people mad with this, but I lived in another country for 8 years and I just need you to know that this kind of thing looks psychotic to everyone else. Cause it kind of is. https://t.co/f8MdMH0Dfy

This is the take The Poke followed up with just the word, “Boom.”
You think that’s the slam dunk argument?
Oh, that’s hilarious.
First, I honestly don’t give a damn what “everyone else”–here, it means, the rest of the world, it seems–thinks of people being able to carry a gun while waiting tables at a restaurant where that was part of the theme.
The rest of the world is made up of hellhole countries where violent criminals reign supreme on the streets or European nations that oppress their people “for their own good.” My concern about their opinions of us and what this looks like are worth less than a fart in church.
Plus, it’s funny how they made it all about the anti-gun replies. That wasn’t close to the universal sentiment, either.
In fact, a lot of other people commented that it didn’t bother them, especially as many mentioned they’d be carrying a firearm themselves.
But we can’t highlight those, now, can we?
The anti-gun media has a strong tendency to ignore any pro-gun voice whenever possible, and then add in the outright stupidity of thinking that we gun-owning Americans actually care what anti-gun societies think of us is laughable.
If they want to be subjects, that’s on them.
We’re the Land of the Free, and we’ll carry guns because we can. It’s why our doors won’t be kicked in over memes, and why the police won’t show up at our doors because we complained about our kids’ schools on some social media site.
People who think we should be like Europe, though, are more than welcome to move there for good. I damn sure won’t miss them.
