January 7, 20223 yr So this dude is going to suffer zero consequences for that bullshit "self-defense" murder? Okay.

Why is that an issue ? More than likely the Walmart demographic is very used to seeing guns at a Walmart The single wall of guns in an apartment store that sells hunting rifles and sporting arms scare you in someway ?

Walk into any large sporting goods store in America and you'll see hunting rifles, shotguns, and all manner of other firearms. Why does it make you sad ? Edited January 7, 20223 yr by Onboard 2.0

Because we’ve normalized gun culture such that you and millions of others think it’s ok. There’s millions of Chinese that grew up thinking the One Child Policy is ok. It isn’t, but you’re only able to arrive at that realization within the context of not growing up in China.

That ship sailed 200 years ago. Guns, and hunting have been a part of our culture since it's inception. Making them boogie men, and some horrible thing is the problem. Being scared of firearms is a horrible way to go thru life.

Quote Being scared of firearms is a horrible way to go thru life. I agree. It's why I've always wondered where all those folks live that are armed to the teeth because they are afraid of an armed intruder coming into their home. As you said, that's a horrible way to go thru life.

I'd agree there are wack jobs out there, but hiding guns, and making them some secretive thing is not a good way to handle something that's a completely legal product in a country. Seeing a gun should not trigger a normal functioning person.

The are billions of people who might be sickened walking into a Chinese wet market, and seeing dogs being boiled alive. I get your point that there are some people who would be astounded, scared, and quizzical about it, but that isn't an issue we have to deal with in a country where the sale of firearms is perfectly legal.

January 7, 20223 yr Looks like a candy store to me. Seriously, the Las Vegas gun stores with shooting ranges are packed with Asian & European tourists who pay exorbitant fees to shoot all kinds of firearms, including full auto machine guns. Two of of my English friends visiting in recent years put shooting sessions near the top of their must do list.

Not that I'm freaked out by seeing guns (I've built a couple of AR's, enjoy reloading, all that) but this is a really bad argument lol. You're equivocating owning guns to boiling dogs alive in a wet market. Not exactly a winning comparison lol

January 7, 20223 yr I’ve seen rows of restaurants in Taipei with freshly skinned dogs hanging out front by the sidewalks. it certainly was an “eeewwwww” scene.
January 7, 20223 yr I think his point is that cultures have different norms. Why should we care if a bunch of Brits get their panties in a bunch by seeing a gun? They call cookies "biscuits" fuck them.

Not exactly a winning comparison lol No I'm not (but show that boiling dog to a vegan, PETA member or some other uber animal loving person and they'd argue your point) I simply used it as an example of what culturally might trigger someone, and how that would be different in different countries based on what they're used to seeing.

January 7, 20223 yr I worked with some Chinese guys a while back, who were living long term in Houston (Cypress). They wanted nothing more than to go to the gun range and learn to shoot.

When I was a teenager, we were at a small island atoll in the South Pacific call Takaroa. They threw my sister a big birthday bash where the whole village (maybe 75 people) came. One of the main dishes on the menu was dog. And it was a big deal that they had slaughtered one for this feast as obviously there weren't a lot of them on the island. My dad and brother partook to show appreciation, but no way I could go there. They did seem to be eyeing our 100 lb Rottweiler like she was a fatted calf.

Fun fact, the men in the Lewis and Clark expedition ate dog with the Indians, and most of them liked it so much they preferred it over deer/elk.
