for-southendgirls:

I’d love for non-Americans to stop doing that whole, “We had a shooting in ____ and we did x, y, and z and we haven’t had a shooting since!” or “I can’t believe this is the American way! What is happening?!”

We know. We know what we need to do. You don’t need to tell your American friends (who have guns literally written into our Constitution) on social media about the wonders of what your politicians did for you in the wake of a national tragedy. Stop using dead kids to brag about your country. We know. WE KNOW. Y’all do this every single fucking time. We know more about your country’s history of gun laws than we do our own at this point. Y’all’ve only told us like every damn time there’s been a shooting this year (we’re up to 18, so… that’s 18 times).

Can y’all keep y’alls Western European bragging to a minimum for like five seconds after a school shooting, like y’all didn’t completely colonize half of the fucking globe and kill children all over it for going to their own schools and speaking languages you didn’t understand.
