    Look, they get to make fun of us for our shootings, we get to make fun of them for their loicenses for everything. It’s a fair trade.

    cheese eating surrender monkeys for the French.

    That’s actually xenophobic because the French kick ass when they feel like it. Hell, they’re basically the only reason America won independence.

      I’m all for friendly ribbing, just a bit tired of this particular one because I saw it used in unsavoury ways too many times (I’d probably argue the same about school shootings jabs, even if that’s a bit different). Just spreading a bit of awareness about it, I could tell you weren’t being mean or actually using this as a xenophobic argument, but others before you have.
