It should at least be 100% embargoed by all other countries.
so you are going to argue how terrible america is, and then suggest that it would be a good day when america is to be bombed.
it sounds like your country is truly a wonderful place to live if there are others thinking like you.
as an american I would be 100% happy to cut all ties with Finland as a nation, and happily watch on the sidelines.
the USA is the worlds most powerful economy and is crucial to worldwide economic growth.
as for guns, i live in a town where it is very common for the average person to own 15+ guns, and trust me, there are many many people who own 50+. i feel perfectly safe everywhere i go.
probably the main difference is people who grow up around guns vs people who grow up seeing guns in movies and who are absolutely sheltered from them. their parents and teachers/peers have also never been around them and automatically assume they are the root of pure evil. its simply ignorance.
a gun ban will do nothing to stop gun violence, and mass regulations will not help the matter either. methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine as well as many other drugs are strictly prohibited in every single state and we still have a huge drug crisis in america. trust me, the criminals don't care if its legal or ethical for them to own a gun.
when you speak of the government shutdown and lots of people starving im not sure where you get that idea. unemployment is a problem in the USA, yes. probably should do some reading though. the USA's current unemployment rate is around 3.9-4.0%. Finland is sitting right at 7.6% and has been as high as 10% recently.
this means more people that the government has to support using money from those who have jobs and pay their own way. (not speaking of those with true disabilities though).
oh and to any countries that every get a foolish idea someday, better do your research on the US military.
