Yet another mass shooting in the Land of the Free gun ownership

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

So bordom and ability to use internet is the whole of it, eh? Maybe that explains the thread - mass bordom.

If we all combine our ability to use the internet during those times of mass boredom, we could actually get some decent debate going here. Of course it would be a mass debate.

I don't think it's so much an obsession with Americans, but more to do with the fact that there are a lot of US citizens on this forum who want to talk about US stuff. And since this is a Cambodia expat forum for all nationalities, there is input from all over. It can be enriching to learn what foreigners think of your country, even if you disagree, even if they're wrong. Maybe they will learn something, and you might too.

And really, who cares if people post shit about countries they have never been to ? It's not just the US. And this is only an internet forum.

@ LTO and US citizens here. Don't take this badly, but this is the sort of thing that makes us wonder about your country and its gun laws.
This article is 1 month old. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/201 ... ault-rifle

A New Hampshire car dealer is offering everyone who buys a car a free AR-15 assault rifle, a type of weapon similar to the one used in the Orlando LGBT nightclub massacre.

Mike Hagan owns Hagan’s Motor Pool Auto Repair and Sales in Rochester. He says he has given away four AR-15s and one 9mm handgun, an option for buyers who don’t want the rifle.

Hagan told NH1-TV that he has partnered with a nearby gun store, which runs the required background checks.

Hagan is a combat veteran who served in Afghanistan. He says the possibility the weapons he’s giving away could be used to kill civilians doesn’t weigh on him.

He hasn’t returned calls seeking information on whether the promotion began before or after Orlando gunman Omar Mateen attacked the Pulse nightclub on Sunday, leaving 49 people dead.

AR-15-style rifles were used by the shooters in the San Bernardino terror attack in December, as well as in the 2012 attacks at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, and an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.

Critics call AR-15-style rifles the weapon of choice for terrorists and mass murderers; such guns were targeted by the 1994 federal ban on “assault weapons”, which some Democrats tried and failed to renew in 2013.

Ha, yes. It's a less wonderous than wondering kind of place.
