Because sorry but it seems Americans don't give a shit about each other

Our lawmakers' pockets are lined by the NRA and the gun lobby. That's why it's always "not the right time" to talk about gun law reform. That's why we can't be more like Sweden or any other country that enacts gun-related legislation.

Money, Santa...money!

Because you allow and elect uneducated, corrupt and racist people to run your country. If the United States citizens demanded better from their politicians they would get better.

Because the #GOP are a bunch of cowards, they rather sacrifice kids lives than to lose their fucking guns.

A lot more like the Swedes. Universal Healthcare, for example.

Remember the Port Arthur massacre and the Australian Government moved so fast on gun control even I couldn't believe it. Your country has turned into a powder keg and everyone has a gun, dear God

Because the NRA is a money laundering machine for the GOP; no one knows how much money the NRA takes in, where that money came from and where it ends up.

Good morning Santa 😎🌞☮️👊🦖 good to see you, dark dark times my friend. I thought the day after the asteroid was bad but jeebus Trump is a whole lot worse.

Because Sweden isn't infected with Big Gun.

If everyone here looked like the Swedes do, we'd already have it all sorted out.

I will leave it at that.

What do you mean?

I mean that if the US population was homogeneously white there would be fewer objections to social assistance programs of all sorts.

We are one of the countries that accepts the most refugees in the world. We got 9 million people in total in Sweden and the nr doesn’t include asylum seekers.
