It's a fucking ignorant ass jab directed at the wrong people. The majority of Americans support stricter gun laws, it is NOT the common mans fault that our centuries old political system is set up in a way that a minority party can have so much influence.

Like I already said, no matter the reasons or intentions, they ARE mocking children being murdered. Maybe it's "lol you guys let children die lol" instead of "lol child death lol", but either way children are dead and they are laughing. Meanwhile, the majority of Americans are horrified by it and pissed off nothing is being done by our government to stop it.

It's also just incredibly thin-skinned. Really, you're gonna get so offended over a joke about spotted dick that your only response is "you guys have school shootings lol".

I didn't personally throw any tea into the Boston harbor but you better believe I'm going to use that as ammo against a brit if I feel like it. Personal agency has no meaning when talking about entire countries.

Civility politics is cringe as fuck. Get over yourself and threaten to liberate their country instead of whining about people being mean on the internet.
