What a fuckin tool.

America can fully get in the bin. It’s got some of the coolest places in the world but absolutely non of it is worth the slightest chance of seeing that in your lifetime. I’m in my 30s and I’m so fkin happy to say I’ve never seen a civilian with a gun excluding trips to the states.

Ammosexual in the wild

Ready for school

As a British citizen I find that disturbing

And yet you're still alive.

With someone like this guy, you see the gun. It's the ones you don't see, but hear, that you should be worried about.

The name on his espresso cup is, Mr. small penis.

I don’t see them here because there aren’t any. A guy carrying a tool of war into a Starbucks is just fkin psychotic. It’s not a society I’d ever want to be a part of or be stuck trying to justify

They have somewhere for this in America it’s Military,Law Enforcement. What a loser.

And an optic ranged at 100m, you know, for self defense.

This is a clueless person trying to get a reaction from people.

Why is it psychotic? Maybe he came from the gun range and made the responsible choice of not leaving it in his car.

I think it's psychotic that people get so upset over a picture. Or any representation of a gun in today's society.

I survived the Starbucks this time

Yeah maybe! Maybe that’s what every mad fk in America is doing. They’re all just on their way home from the range, being normal.

As I said, if you're worried that he's a mass shooter, I don't recall any other mass shooters that walked into a place with their gun strapped to their back and made an order before shooting.

You'd probably be shocked how many guns you don't see. But they're standing or sitting next to you.

Ban the things. Zero tolerance.

What a jerk off...

As an American, I find it disgusting.

Maybe next to you! Not in my country.

I’m also not strictly worried he’s a mass shooter I’m worried that the overwhelming majority of an entire countries population can easily secure said tools, and end lives trivially, with the effort of changing the tv channel.

I’d guess many/most gun deaths in the states aren’t even strictly premeditated, just an escalation of circumstances.

Nobody is gonna get into an argument and get shot in a heat of the moment confrontation in most western countries outside the US because it’s logistically not possible

You're making a lot of assumptions.

At some point this guy was a beautiful young hopeful spirit full of promise then something came along and broke him a little bit inside and he never quite climbed back out of the hole it put him in.

Such as?

Based on the sheer number of guns relative to the number of shootings, this guy is all show, no go.

Cool I prefer “no show no go”, I also prefer “no shootings” over “statistically low given that there are more guns than people in your country”

Fair enough. I grew up around guns. Hunted all my life. The anti gun sentiment is odd. It's gotten to the point that every gun, and even every hunter, is bad now.

Idk what to tell you. I’m not having this argument with a farmer in the butt end of nowhere; I’m having it with people sat in a Starbucks downtown on a Tuesday morning.

You’re not all hunters, you’re not all simple folk who like goin’ bag a deer for the winter.

The societal issue in the states is not country huntsmen in the mountains with their bolt action rifle; it’s people who fetishise instruments of death and value the freedom to own them over the freedom to live without the slightest worry your kid will be executed while learning their ABCs, cunts buying coffee with automatic rifles hanging off them like a fkin tourist with a camera. It’s gross. It’s weird. The rest of the world acknowledges it

You can make clever intentionally obtuse arguments all you want, but the essence of his point is that an asshole with an assault rifle in a Starbucks is a totally fucked up thing to see, and it’s totally fucked up that US culture accepts it. Even if that stupid motherfucker was on the way home from the gun range and didn’t want to leave his gun in the car, then common decency and reasonable standards of etiquette should have been enough for him to skip the coffee, go home, and lock up his gun before running errands. This asshat just wants to show off and make people nervous.

Still making more (false) assumptions. Showing your true colors.

Do you feel the same when it's a cop with a gun in a holster, getting coffee?

What have I assumed?

Are you infact ALL deer hunters?

The "I refuse to live in fear" uniform. He looks pretty scared to me.

Wow. That’s poignant and probably 100% accurate.

Read your comment.

Have a great day.

Is there a place where open carrying a loaded fully automatic assault rifle is legal, even in the US??

I concur.

VERY easy to steal and to sell

*Espresso

Would it make you feel better that many of our southern states don't require any licensing background checks or open or concealed and carry licenses. .

Yeah bitch, I fucking do.

Seek help.

That is one dainty ankle for a stocky fella

[removed]

That’s scary, how do you all feel safe??

Desensitization

And I can almost guarantee you, he would shit his pants if a fire fight broke out more than he would shit his pants from two espresso‘s. And I’ve had a lot of Starbucks espresso‘s (and unfortunately contact) so I know about their shits.

Of course he has the shit ass bitchstick with the integral bipod that isn't worth fuckall. This guy needs to be clowned on until he understands just how fucking stupid open carry is.

A guy open carrying a gun is nothing short of a dumbass. A true dumbass.

It’s those who carry that you do NOT know about that worry me.

Open carry is like having a sign saying “shoot me first.”

That's why I'll still be here in a decade shitass :) Swallow some bleach about it

Goodbye.

What exactly do Americans seem to want to prove? I just don't get it. Why do you need to own a gun. It makes no sense. I mean just why. Maybe a hunting rifle, if you're hunting......but other than that why?

Where is this?

Why would that matter?

Trying to understand if people are just afraid of an object or the person with the object.

My guess, Texas.

Micro. Penis.

We don’t.

He has done literally NOTHING to be slightly safe wth this in public. You're dying on this hill justifying it, saying he couldn't leave it in his car etc. Ya, if he had the proper gun case etc, hidden it out of view and locked his car it's 1000x safer in his vehicle. He doesn't even have a trigger lock on this, even if he isn't nuts and there are "guns we can't see" it's about access. Some actual lunatic could rip this off his back and suddenly shoot up this Starbucks, which wouldn't have happened if this loser hadn't walked in with his gun strapped to his back like a GD kids backpack.

thank you.

I think people are upset that our society has reached such a point that these deadly weapons are fetishized by large numbers of people and that those people then feel so self righteous about their identity that they feel the need to make others uncomfortable with no sense of concern for the literal fear they are provoking in people who are otherwise just trying to go about their day.

So both the object and the person? Which is why I asked about a cop getting coffee.

you're welcome to come try and take it from us

Or not.

No, and that it's not.

The obvious response to increased school shootings and shootings targeted at specific groups of people is to be visibly armed with an AR-15 in a small coffee shop at 9:00 am on a Tuesday. That gun doesn’t even really seem ideal for a situation like that anyways. Even if he could maneuver well with it he doesn’t really seem to have the room to.

Yet another knobhead

Sad man
