America, dunking its own head in the toilet repeatedly: I don't want to do this but I have to. I know other countries generally never dunk their own head in the toilet but that would never work here* *This message was paid for and approved by the National Toilet Association

bitterandtwisted posted:shooting guns and counting it as exercise is the most American thing I've ever heard I didn't go to middle school in America  I think our gym teacher thought we would have to fight off American pig dogs or something idk. He also had very interesting ideas about how nuclear power stations work.

Now that's what I like to see. You often only see a single kid trying to do all of the work by themselves. Those three kids are showing some real teamwork which has been so sorely lacking lately.

I mean Japan has a gun culture and they can't even own guns. Anyways, as in the US, when somebody gets shot it's not the local gun nerds who obsess over every detail of militaria, own a collection of replicas, and travel overseas to visit gun ranges who do the shooting.

Colonel Cancer posted:This is why I will teach my children 20 ways to silently take out a sentry with a knife or otherwise they might hurt themselves. Don’t draw the knife across the throat, Billy! You need to stab deep into the flesh and then rip the knife out by pushing forward to rupture as much tissue as possible. Don’t pull the head back, either, you’ll just increase your chances of a glancing blow or a shallow cut.

Moridin920 posted:Where? The Tri-State area at least in my experience, this can probably be said for most of the Northeast corridor to some extent. It's not that it doesn't exist, but it's pretty unusual and easy to basically never encounter. After all who needs to hunt when you can just drive on the woodiest parts of local highways for awhile, you'll catch a deer soon enough.

I feel like a lot of people keep guns at home and don't advertise the fact but I'm kind of just speculating. Like there's no culture I guess where I am in that I never randomly talk about guns with people or see them other than on cops but I know that there's like a good 25-30% of households with a gun in the residence, at least based on the last numbers I saw.

No one hunts around here either, so they must be super secretive about every facet of it to the extent that one could conclude a popular culture for it does not exist in the area.

Moridin920 posted:Well... Super secretive? Why would people tell you they have a gun? Well that's exactly it, having a gun culture wouldn't make something like that a secret I'd think. Kind of in the same sense that Evangelicals do technically exist around here, but they're rare and pretty quiet. As compared to the parts of the country where they rule all they survey.

Seeing as I live in the Midwest, I want to believe you real bad. There’s more Christian stations than country stations (about a dozen) and there’s like one rock station (mostly classic), one new pop station that will also play scary black people music, one old pop station for your 70s-90s fare, and a NPR station that plays classical music. I live the in the third largest city in the state. There’s a gun store named Si Vis Pacem around here, or at least they had a big fancy sign with that slogan and some crosshairs on it.

They should also do that so they eject hot casings onto themselves because they forgot to get a lefty ejection port for the off-hand.

I wish every time someone killed themselves they'd call in a threat to a business or school beforehand so that they can get their name in the news while everyone else gets to have a day off once in awhile. It's pretty much win-win.

Again, it depends on what you mean by "gun culture". If you mean culture surrounding hobbyists, collectors, and people who shoot guns at a range or are NRA members then a lack of "gun culture" in your area doesn't really mean anything w/r/t spree shooters, people who kill each other with weapons, or the presence of weapons. Bubba, with his 15 carefully curated AR-15's and an actual machinegun who hangs out at the range every weekend bothering customers, isn't in the demographic that seems to be shooting up schools or fighting a turf war in the US.

I live the in the third largest city in the state. I spent five years living in the Deep South, and yeah that sounds like what I remember, except definitely more black music (and some of the crazy radio preachers were also black). I also remember when I moved down there (around 2007) telling some of my new friends I made that "no" I had never heard of Rascal Flatts, "who are they,?" and being looked at like a space alien. Indeed I had to look up how to spell their name this very post. Grape fucked around with this message at 13:21 on May 8, 2019 |

Yeah, Bubba is just the piece of poo poo gulping down NRA propaganda and voting in ways that ensure no meaningful controls get put on the wild and loose spread and proliferation of those guns. Meanwhile Bubba's dorky failson is posting on the internet to assure us nothing is the matter.

"Meaningful" controls would also require a bit of extrapolation. There are a lot of restrictive laws on the books and private gun ownership has even been de-facto prohibited in areas of the US. Like, the MG registry being closed in the 80's "meaningfully" impacts a lot of collectors and hobbyists, but it didn't meaningfully impact crime or violence because gangs of minorities were not/are not actually running around with akimbo tec-9's outside of Hollywood's sets and Norinco executive's dreams.

Also, enforcement of gun laws seems really strange since most of the guys I know who get really excited about owning an AR-15 are members of law enforcement. This is in California, and all of them have the usual ways to sidestep the magazine restrictions and other limitations that the Cali laws put on them.
