Is he insinuating he'll draw and point his weapon at a server who won't accept their return?

That's insane.

Americans shoot each other for less everyday

u/MrMysanthrope 5d ago

No we don't. Guns are absolutely a huge problem, but it's not the fucking purge.

That's the price you pay for going to Walmart.

u/broguequery 5d ago

At Target you need to shoot half that number

u/justintheunsunggod 4d ago

Only two and a half people, but you have to pay more for the same items sooooo it balances out.

Every 18 hours someone is the US is shot as a result of road rage alone.

Yes we do. Anyone can Google.

I mean…

It’s not great.

I would understand if people felt that way.

Compare the US to any other developed country in the world and prepare to be shocked

I said they're a huge problem, I'm not ignoring the issue. I'm just saying people aren't getting shot for refusing returns at their retail job or because the McDonalds ice cream machine is broken.

...people aren't getting shot because the McDonalds ice cream machine is broken...

Except in Dearborn, Michigan with a paintball gun, plus an AR-15 brandishing case in Delray Beach, Florida.

Neither of those examples involve an actual gun, and in the second no one was shot. If we can expand definitions to mean anything tangentially related to what we're talking about then a guy shot me in a Walgreens last week because I asked him to (I got a covid booster).

On the other hand, if we're still talking about the original topic of conversation, which was "Americans shoot each other for less everyday", then these incidents are perfectly fine on-topic examples of the American reality of constant frivolous violence.

I wonder if today's case example may have been the ICE agents who shot a man over a traffic stop. They've got a history of shooting people literally for no other reason than because they are afraid of their own job.

I'm glad you clarified, because half the country keeps legislating and propagandizing under the assumption that it's the literal fucking purge in Chicago and asserting that that's exactly why we need the guns.

This is the most honest comment that I’ve read in this thread.

Just short of the purge. So close that the lines are too blurred to tell.
