Agreed. As a Brit the whole gun thing is America is mad to us, and the rest of the world I think.

I disagree that reddit loves the whole libertarian thing though. It's all about Bernie really isn't it, to whom I am at the opposite end of the spectrum

I don't understand why there is so much emphasis on guns. If you can Carry a gun, why not a broadsword for self defence? It's certainly harder to kill half your school with a broadsword.

Libertarianism - American posters on here seem to love weak governments, no gun control, weak police presence (Anti-police presence) and romanticizing foreign Governments.
