@larand what could possibly go wrong?

@larand "Illustrate what's wrong with the USA using 1 image."

@larand Oh FFS 🙄

@larand I hope the contrast was intentional.

@larand

According to Florida Statutes 562.11, anyone who sells, gives, or serves alcohol to a person who is under 21 years of age does so illegally.

@larand

The editor had to have done that on purpose.

@larand This is what insanity looks like.

@larand FFS!

@larand one of the things i like about actual newspapers is the often very opinionated metacommentary of the physical layout

@larand Das nasty

@larand Do Americans realise how crazy you seem to the rest of the world? Outside war zones and failed states guns are strictly controlled everywhere and the rest of us get on fine without them. But the US answer to a shooting is more guns. You can't all be mad so why don't the sane people out-vote the crazies?

@larand

and what is the answer?

VOTE
Get all your friends and family and coworkers to register and vote

If you can, send money to winnable races (eg, no more Betos or Amy McGraths, although this is easier said then done)

write you local paper; I think they still pay attn to what readers say

@larand 🤦

@larand
Maybe if abortions were performed by tiny guns, red states would allow them.

@larand
Well, the standard #Republican form of #gun #control is, More people need guns. #vote #no #RepUblicanSSIANS
@MmeRoux

@larand Unbelievable.

@larand sounds like school shootings are a real problem. The only thing that can be done is to close down as many schools as possible, as fast as possible. No schools, no school shootings, it really is that simple. /s

@larand insanity strikes again in Florida. Left at 18 and never looked back!

@larand why have an age limit for anything. My son at 4 was driving dirtbikes, so he should have been given a motorcycle and license, let him take himself to preschool. These people arghhhh

@larand 🤦🏻‍♀️

@larand the point is as it always has been, as many dead peasants as possible-- and we are the peasants

@larand 💀

@larand #jesusfuckingchrist 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

@larand
And good, sane Americans & the rest of the world are forced to live w this insanity.

@larand me, few days ago, on twitter. (it's sarcasm/dark humor)

@larand @briankrebs

L: Fuck Around
R: Find Out

@larand To be fair, you can enlist in the military at 18 and be sent overseas with a weapon in hand.

But, that's after professional training. Gun training and safety standards for civilians in the US are severely lacking. There's very few federal minimum standards regarding training, safe storage, etc. Even concealed carry is handled on a state by state basis with varying requirements, reciprocity rules, etc. It's a clusterfuck for any gun owner trying to do the right thing, and rife for abuse.

@larand isn't it ironic...

@larand W.T.A.F.

@larand OMG 🤯

re-boosting

@larand The GOP solution

@larand If pupils shoot each other, you don't need an external idiot. 👍🏼

@larand synergy!

@larand
That's the contemporary USA in one picture.

@larand Bobby Payne: “But what about the elementary schools, huh? Have you thought about that?”

@larand I remember years ago the Austin-American Statesman had a headline upper left corner about how many millions Formula One racing was given in tax breaks to start up racing in Austin, Texas. In the lower left corner, a headline about how many millions were being cut from services to disabled children. No editorial comment was necessary, it was right there.
