    Yes, he’s a coward. Not the people who feel the need to carry a gun everywhere they go because they’re scared of everything. Those people are just normal.

    Making this about capitalism shows this is propaganda and about normalizing paranoia. People are easier to manipulate when they’re scared.

    I live in the hood and work at a grocery store. I know the difference between gun shots balloons and fireworks. If you’re scared when a balloon popping. You probably should vote democrat.

    Interesting how calm, thoughtful commentary like this brings out the trolls.

    yeah there’s probably a reason the U.S. is the only first-world country in the ranking for top 2 highest gun deaths. I dunno why people call him a coward for being skeptical of that

    This is not the kind of person you could ever rely on in a high pressure high consequence situation. Pity of a “man”.

    I was once with an australian at a place in the US and somebody slammes his door a bit hard.
    That sound almost made the aussie man crawl under the table.

    Though i gotta say the imminent threat of anybody having a gun is one of the reasons people dont pick fights as easily like other contries. Especially partying. As a German i have to say it is rare that people dont want to fight you when you go out. During years of being in the US i was only once “invited” to engage in a physical debate, which i kindly refused.

    Shut up dude. Do you realize that more people die from falling down the stairs than they do from mass shootings? Just because you get scared when a balloon pops doesnt give you the right to take away law abiding citizens rights away. Without guns all other rights will slowly be stripped away.

    Close loopholes to gun purchases and it’ll reduce the bad guys with guns. Also don’t buy more than one gun, it could get stolen.

    This month,Feb, a 17-year-old was arrested in Tacoma after police said he shot and killed a 14-year-old with a stolen gun, though it was from a house, not a car. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) referred to it as a “time to crime” period and said when those periods are shorter it indicates gun trafficking or a straw purchase, where someone who can legally buy a gun purchases one and sells it to someone who can’t legally own one.

    The report shows that nearly a quarter of guns traced were bought less than a year before showing up at a crime scene.

    “This ATF report and others show that there are still some gaps in the system and we’ve got to address them to make sure that we’re keeping guns out of the wrong hands,” said Sen. Marko Liias (D) – District 21.

    Liias backed two pieces of legislation to tackle that. The first would create legal liability to hold firearm retailers and manufacturers accountable.

    “Just like we did in the opioid space, if somebody knows that a lot of the products they’re selling are going to the wrong place, they have some responsibility to try and stop that,” Liias said.

    Dude doesn’t know the difference between the noise of a balloon and a firearm. Can’t imagine going through life afraid of balloons.
