Basing your world travel on gun laws. Completely sane.

I feel so sorry for anyone who is that afraid that they can't go somewhere because they can't take a gun with them.

Seriously man. Anyone who is that afraid is going to be a liability with a gun.

I can't believe these people are real.
Bonus points for the "UEFA match" part LOL.

Im just gonna say this as i think it. If you do not agree with the laws of a country, you should not go there. If you dont feel safe without a firearm, you are 100% entitled not to go to a country that doesnt allow them. You are allowed to have preferences.

Yeah, you're right. It's absolutely your choice. But, also just my opinion, 98% of the world's countries that are worth visiting are going to have gun laws that correlate to the United States laws.
And if you don't feel safe in life without a firearm, you're failing at life. I can't imagine being that frightened by the experience of living. Seriously, I feel absolutely horrible for people that live life like that. And the families whose experience will be limited by a frightened parent.

Failing at life is a little strong. Id say you're definitely paranoid a tad, but there are plenty of ppaces you cant enter with a gun in the U.S. (mainly government buildings). Id still feel generally safer no matter what with a gun though

No different then those who post on reddit claiming they wont visit the US because they've been tricked into believing they will be gunned down in the streets.

Except that there are more gun deaths in the US than there are in most of the rest of the world. Especially Western Europe.

And most are suicide or gang related. It's not like theres an issue with tourists being kidnapped or murdered. The fear is unfounded.

The US ranks in the top 15 in gun related homicides. That's not unfounded.

Reread my comment. Unless you plan on visiting a few select areas of a few select cities or are tied up in the drug trade tourist have nothing to fear. I'm not afraid of getting stabbed in England ven though they have high rates of that.

Some of us are big on the "shall not be infringed" part, is that so insane to everybody else? Inb4 I get downvoted to hell for being a crazy

Dude, you're going to a different country. YOUR laws don't apply. I don't know how any sane human being can even question this.

Obviously your own laws don't apply to OTHER countries where 2A doesn't even exist, but what is wrong with not wanting to travel to places where you can't defend yourself the way you so please?

Not the guy you replied to but, to me, it's just sad that someone will limit their life experience because they can't part with their weapon.
I guess if you're unable to defend yourself without a gun then you probably stay home in general.
I guess I'm missing the part where those countries have laws so that most people DON'T have guns. Why would someone NEED their guns in that situation?

In places where guns are illegal, knives are used. In places where knives are illegal, fists are used. Crime comes in all shapes and sizes I'm agreeing with your statement that you shouldn't need a firearm to defend yourself in that situation at ALL times and that not everyone needs to defend themselves ALL of the time. I see exactly where you're coming from now.

The same way that Saudi and Singapore laws wouldn't apply for tourists in the United States, so too does our constitution not apply to any other country (I can't believe I have to say that).
The insane part, to me, is avoiding countries because their laws are different. If you're getting to that point you're better off staying home.

Agreeable, some of us take 2A very seriously for some reason or other, naturally. Still dunno what a "hoplophobe" is. Of course our own laws don't apply to other countries, I don't think that and never have, that's common sense.
1
I believe in the right to protect yourself and own guns, but I believe using the word "hoplophobic" makes you insane.
I own a gun, bro. I would never assume that I have any rights to take it to another country. I would never assume our 2nd amendment would apply to any other country. I wouldn't be so devoid of reality to not travel to countries whose gun laws don't emulate my own.
And, yes! Hoplophobic is the nutcase cherry on top.
