No I know that, there's just a solid joke there about someone from outside the country aghast at US gun culture posting a picture of those instead of actual firearms, which is what I assumed the tweet was intentionally going for.

I missed that because I knew Walmart does indeed sell firearms. Or did. Haven't been in one in a long time, but I went to college in the south and people would totally go there to buy groceries, toilet paper, jorts, and ammo for their AR-15 all in one trip. It's a magical place.

He was obviously being hyperbolic, but y'all do have poo poo like Sandy Hook truthers who would rather harass the parents of dead children than examine their preconceptions surrounding the availability of firearms in a country where there's a school shooting once every 10 days or so on average.

Edit: and that's post COVID where remote schooling was a factor. 2019 had an average of a shooting a week. :gonk:

Pro tip to understanding what I'm trying to convey: there are (pretty sure exclusively American) posters in this very thread parroting right wing talking points designed to undermine efforts to reduce the availability of weapons.

"Britain is banning cutlery" and associated stupid poo poo.

For what it's worth as someone who grew up in the north of England, bb guns are common and lots of fun as a 14 year old and guns are also normal but taken more seriously / owned by people who only use them to hunt. Ate a pheasant I shot myself at 17. We jerk it to porn we find in the woods and when I was growing up every teenager had a butterfly knife they bought on a school trip to France off a lucky lucky man.

I think the main reason British people find the knife laws ok is that in practice you will never ever be approached by a cop who wants to examine your knives. So it might as well be one of those funny laws no one enforces, like the one about it being ok to shoot Welshmen with a crossbow at certain times in the city of Chester

Yeah and if a british cop ever does come up to you and says "hey show me your knife" it's a trick and as soon as you pull it out the ARU are going to shoot you dead

Those items in the picture were BB guns, including the specific brand featured in A Christmas Story. It probably reflects badly on us that you can just buy them wherever without age limit or anything, but they are not actual firearms.
Hey, if the cops think it's a real firearm worth getting the SWAT team out to kill a man before he can respond, they can be real firearms.
