    The world (looking at the huge variety of guns with thousands of models that were made before the US even was a thing): Yes, American magic…

      Yes we all know when someone makes s joke about the excess use of guns we all know that are really taking about the Chinese and their rabid gun use.

      I’ll have you know guns are as American as apple pie!

      Edit: Accidentally wrote “Apple pie” rather than “apple pie.” Don’t want to give them any ideas. I don’t need food that only works with Apple appliances.

          Yes, America invented co-opting things.

          Side note: I found this alongside similar images that seemed less intentionally ironic.

            Looks like an image that could go on to the hood of a pickup truck that surely also is an American thing 😂🤯

                That’s close, but it really belongs painted on the side of a '70s panel van instead of a wizard with a unicorn, with shag carpet, a crushed velvet bed with the frame made of ammo boxes, and bead curtains made of bullets, and living in that van is a slightly more stoned Nicholas Cage from Lord of War who smells like pachouli and expended gun powder.

          You think you’re pretty clever, don’t you? I happen to know that every word in your comment was posted years ago! Perhaps you’ve read…the dictionary!

              Perhaps that’s how the Germans displaced the citizens of the Holy Roman Empire.

              Maybe if they’d put guns on their guns, they’d have normal people like Americans living there rather than foreigners like Germans.

              (Yes, I’m being incredibly facetious. No, I shouldn’t have to explain it, but also, yes, someone has probably already posted this sincerely on Truth Social.)

      I mean, I guess if you want substandard crappy guns like Beretta, Heckler & Koch, Benelli, Browning Arms Company (yes, Browning), SIG Sauer, Springfield Armory, Chiappa, FN Herstal and more. And don’t forget our Filipino friends at Rock Island Armory!

          Browning is now owned by FN Herstal, though the Browning business unit is still headquartered in the US.

          Springfield is privately owned by an American family.
