I am an American teaching English in Spain. My coworkers don't understand why I didn't think this was a big deal since I just kind of shrugged when they started talking about it. I kind of changed tone after that and pretended to think "oh yeah, this is really bad and I can't believe it happened," but inside I was just thinking "he only killed one person. That is basically a normal Monday in America."

^^^ Honestly the one thing that surprised me was that this was NOT in the US. It would have been pretty obvious even without a given location though, due to lack of actual firearms and automatic weapons and the kid not being shot.

Two questions I get asked here constantly... "Where are you from?" "How many guns do you have?" At first I would always say none, but now I answer the gun question with "an entire loving arsenal," and explain that if you don't have a few guns at least then you are basically as good as dead.

My favorite part is when they say things like, "well in America, everyone has a gun." I will then ask if they have ever been there and of course the answer is no. Nothing better than ignorant Europeans telling me exactly what America is like when the extent of their knowledge of the country is from watching Breaking Bad and the Wire. It honestly shocked me how loving ignorant most people are about other countries when these same Europeans love to give the impression that they are knowledgeable about other cultures and totally not xenophobic or dumbasses.

E: And I know people are ignorant dumbasses everywhere, nothing special about Europe in that regard.

This is what school shooters in the US need to learn. They always empty a clip or two, then some hero charges them while they're reloading and that's the end of it.

That's why in Cali you can only have clips that hold two bullets.

I didn't say I was upset. I said I get asked it constantly, which is annoying as gently caress. When you are out at the bars as an English speaker in a town where everyone who hears you speak English immediately comes up to you and asks "dwere are ju frahm" and half of those people say "ohhh how many guns ju ju half" the poo poo gets really old really quickly. Like I don't want to answer the same questions over and over, I want to pound this rum and coke and not have your drunk Spanish rear end touching on me and asking me questions that are dumb and annoying.
