    Denmark had to exercise sovereign and military rights to put down hunting rifles in an area about the size of Maryland (really a mall in Maryland).

    God help them if they have to deal with AR-15s in Romania. They are doing fantastic at that; not.

    That’s the US. It’s a slightly more unified EU and covers most of a continent. We’ve just agreed not to kill each other, sometimes.

    Europe likes to shit on us, but we are dealing with generations of their cast offs over the space of a continent. And still doing better half the time. The other half we are trying to figure out how to implement policies without provoking opposition.

      Romania, the country that’s not even shengen yet (meaning you can’t cross the border without being checked by customs, EXACTLY BECAUSE it’s fucked)? Lol, you really showed Denmark xD

      Also saying America is doing “better” at combating crime is only true if you want to compare yourself to war torn counties. The US has a comparable amount of people in prison to China. COMPARABLE to a country where you get arrested for looking the wrong way. Yes, China has more prisoners, but it also has 4 times the population! America is failing spectacularly at keeping its monopoly of violence as a state. When a civilian shooting happens in the rest of the 1st and 2nd world it’s a tragedy that shakes the country, meanwhile in America half the population feels nothing, because it happens so often.

        You’re right I should pick on the far right inbred country of Europe, France.

          Yeah, because america has no far right problem. Oh wait. Your fascists have been an inspiration for our fascists. America is a failed state and people like you want to keep it that way.

      Tell me you know nothing about Europe, the EU or the Schengen area without stating so verbatim.

      Europe likes to shit on the US because of people like you making excuses and letting problems in America continue being problems.
