American Gun Idiocy

I'm from the right, a Trump supporter, but fuck me with a broomstick if American gun laws aren't insane. They were made when the US was a rural country and the most lethal widely available firearm was a rifled musket. To apply them in a modern urbanized setting with high population density, rampant drugs and widespread mental illness is wrong and stupid. In a town of a million people there are thousands of dipshits, numbskulls and junkies that have no qualms killing people. To allow these scum to buy fucking AK-47 and other assault weaponry is beyond insane. You Americans are fucking out of your minds and you deserve all those mass shootings that happen nearly every damn week.

The government has only minimal control over mass media in the West (dictatorships like Russia and China are another story). And fringe media sites are controlled by corporations too, the only thing that sets them apart from the mass media is that they aren't subject to public scrutiny; their audience is composed almost entirely of mindless drones who won't object to them spreading fake news as long as it supports the correct narrative. Mass media may be biased, but a media outlet that is forced to at least pretend to not be biased is virtually guaranteed to be less biased than one that can get away with being openly biased.
