No, that isn't "America" that is a URL. 😞

Well, the person who started this thread believes that all 300 Million Americans are stupid, so in that respect, yes.

So. Right. Very populist of you to make this comment.
But, exactly where in his post do you actually see anything which suggests that he thinks that all 300 million Americans are stupid?

It was intended to be a sneer at Americans, wasn't it? For what other reason could such a provocative thread title have been chosen?

A sneer at Americans?
A sneer at America?
Shock at what his country is coming to?

It could be any amount of things. You know as well as I do that thread titles are supposed to draw people in. That's what he did.

Maybe, instead of attacking the poster, you should vent your opinion on gun control / promotion?

I checked the OP's profile before I posted - it carries a Canadian flag ... perhaps you didn't.

"We're just damn glad to live in a free country where you can have a gun if you want. This is the way it ought to be."

Oh dear!!
If the only way to feel free is to walk around armed to the teeth, good luck to you all.

Not to try to provoke you personally, ml 😳 but:

Every buyer so far "except one guy from Canada and one old guy" has elected to take the gun, Muller said. Muller recommends his customers select a Kel-Tec .380 pistol.

"It's a nice little handgun that fits in your pocket," he said.

Muller said the promotion was inspired by Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, who is vying with Hillary Clinton to be the Democratic nominee for the presidential election in November.

"We did it because of Barack Obama. He said all those people in the Midwest, you've got to have compassion for them because they're clinging to their guns and their Bibles. I found that quite offensive."

"We all go to church on Sunday and we all carry guns," said Muller. "I've got a gun in my pocket right now. I have a rifle in my truck. We've got to shoot the coyotes out here, they're attacking our cows, our chickens. We're not clinging to nothing. We're just damn glad to live in a free country where you can have a gun if you want. This is the way it ought to be."


Kind of surprises me there are any coyotes left, with everyone running around armed to the eyeballs 😉

That's Missouri. Good for them!

Canada prefers to poison animals. Our animals. Our pet animals.

You should be glad to live in a nation where you're safe from guns.

Snowman melting
From the inside
Falcon spirals
To the ground
So bloody red
Tomorrows clouds
