i doubt it made any difference what color the gun was, some irresponsible jackass let a toddler get their hands on a gun.

Probably, but that doesn't make it all right to colour a gun like a kid's toy. That's the epitome of disrespecting a weapon. Would you colour a hand-drill like a star wars blaster, or a knife like a lightsaber, or rat poison like skittles?! No! If you don't have kids it's immature as fuck and if you do, what kind of responsible parent are you?

I'm sure not every American gun owner is like that, but from what filters its way over here, it's as if you guys don't even respect guns. It's as if it's another toy for you guys. And our government keeps pointing to you guys as an example of why we have to restrict our guns further!

You're genuinely making it hard for us to shoot as a recreational hobby, never mind the farmers and hunters who require guns for the job. All they need to say is "BUT AMERICA" and we have to fall back to trying to persuade them that we're not as insane as you.

Please, for the love of god, stop making life so hard for gun owners in the rest of the civilised world and start respecting the things you claim to love so much.
