Maybe next to you! Not in my country.
I’m also not strictly worried he’s a mass shooter I’m worried that the overwhelming majority of an entire countries population can easily secure said tools, and end lives trivially, with the effort of changing the tv channel.
I’d guess many/most gun deaths in the states aren’t even strictly premeditated, just an escalation of circumstances.
Nobody is gonna get into an argument and get shot in a heat of the moment confrontation in most western countries outside the US because it’s logistically not possible

You're making a lot of assumptions.

You can make clever intentionally obtuse arguments all you want, but the essence of his point is that an asshole with an assault rifle in a Starbucks is a totally fucked up thing to see, and it’s totally fucked up that US culture accepts it. Even if that stupid motherfucker was on the way home from the gun range and didn’t want to leave his gun in the car, then common decency and reasonable standards of etiquette should have been enough for him to skip the coffee, go home, and lock up his gun before running errands. This asshat just wants to show off and make people nervous.

Do you feel the same when it's a cop with a gun in a holster, getting coffee?

Trying to understand if people are just afraid of an object or the person with the object.

I think people are upset that our society has reached such a point that these deadly weapons are fetishized by large numbers of people and that those people then feel so self righteous about their identity that they feel the need to make others uncomfortable with no sense of concern for the literal fear they are provoking in people who are otherwise just trying to go about their day.

So both the object and the person? Which is why I asked about a cop getting coffee.

He has done literally NOTHING to be slightly safe wth this in public. You're dying on this hill justifying it, saying he couldn't leave it in his car etc. Ya, if he had the proper gun case etc, hidden it out of view and locked his car it's 1000x safer in his vehicle. He doesn't even have a trigger lock on this, even if he isn't nuts and there are "guns we can't see" it's about access. Some actual lunatic could rip this off his back and suddenly shoot up this Starbucks, which wouldn't have happened if this loser hadn't walked in with his gun strapped to his back like a GD kids backpack.

Such as?

Based on the sheer number of guns relative to the number of shootings, this guy is all show, no go.

Cool I prefer “no show no go”, I also prefer “no shootings” over “statistically low given that there are more guns than people in your country”

Fair enough. I grew up around guns. Hunted all my life. The anti gun sentiment is odd. It's gotten to the point that every gun, and even every hunter, is bad now.

Idk what to tell you. I’m not having this argument with a farmer in the butt end of nowhere; I’m having it with people sat in a Starbucks downtown on a Tuesday morning.
You’re not all hunters, you’re not all simple folk who like goin’ bag a deer for the winter.
The societal issue in the states is not country huntsmen in the mountains with their bolt action rifle; it’s people who fetishise instruments of death and value the freedom to own them over the freedom to live without the slightest worry your kid will be executed while learning their ABCs, cunts buying coffee with automatic rifles hanging off them like a fkin tourist with a camera. It’s gross. It’s weird. The rest of the world acknowledges it

Still making more (false) assumptions. Showing your true colors.

What have I assumed?
Are you infact ALL deer hunters?
