        Meanwhile said countries are completely reliant on USA death tools via NATO treaties because you have regulated yourselves into helplessness while Russia is at your doorstep knocking. Good luck to you if Trump is elected and backs away from defense treaties.

          We may not need licenses for firearms but we need them for cars, heavy equipment, a ton of employment positions, but not this ranged lethal weapon that fits in your pocket

            That’s because driving a car or operating heavy equipment are not a constitutional right written down by decree of democratically elected officials during a constitutional convention, you silly fuck.

            Regardless, your lack of broadly socially-accepted individual-level firearms training and neutered militaries will be unable to stop the unending meat waves of aggressive territory-hungry Russian rapists no matter how you play it.

                Pretty sure they’re either a troll or wildly ignorant. Either way, it’s probably safe to just ignore them.

                  I’m actually very dumb and ignorant. Apologies.

                  However, civil discourse can be done with vulgarity. Just stop being a pearl-clutching limp-wrist self-censoring sycophant.

                    Limp-wrist? So gay right? That’s where that term comes from, isnt it? So explain to me how, where someone likes to stick their dick has to do with their opinion of firearms?

              We write on a piece of paper that this tool requires no piece of paper because this other piece of paper says it doesn’t need a piece of paper

              USE. ACTUAL. REASONS.

            That is… Likely not correct. Finland came very, very close to losing the Winter War; Russia pulled back because they didn’t realize that the Finns were on their last legs. Yes, Russia right now couldn’t walk through Finland, but at the strength they had prior to invading Ukraine? It’s much, much more probable. The military of Finland is tiny compared to Russia; 292,000 (about 25k active, the rest reserve) compared to 3,159,000 (1.1M active); looking solely at active military, that’s 44:1, Russian advantage.

            The big thing that would stop Russia now is NATO, since all countries are pledged to help any other member country if (when) Russia invade. The US is a significant part of NATO, both in terms of raw manpower, and in terms of money spent on the military. Without NATO, Finland probably loses, as long as Russia presses their attack. With NATO, but a NATO without the US, Finland wins, but it takes years. With both NATO and the US, Finland takes Moscow in 2 months.

            I really hope so.

            I hope all Russian soldiers die slow painful deaths, and I hope their entire economy tanks harder than Putins mom getting railed out by the chimps that were present in the orgy responsible for fathering that bastard.
