    I don’t live in a 3rd world country

    lol the US has the highest death rate from gun violence - it’s literally the #1 killer of children.

    which is not to assert that adding more firearms will help the situation, but it’s got fuckall to do with living in a first world country or third world country.

      In these kinds of discussions you can assume the third world country jab was a reference to the US.

      As an aside: part of the definition of a First World Country includes being a “stable democracy”.

      If a poll was done of American citizens asking them “do you think fraud will play a part in the upcoming election?” I would be shocked if less than 80% said yes. That doesn’t sound like a stable democracy to me.
