People keep acknowledging my NFL Raiders hat and all I can do is give them a point and wink when they say "Raider Nation!" to me. I'm not brave enough to give the finger guns in this country, they might shoot back.
Yeah it's not even a joke. Guns are pretty normalised in a lot of people's lives. I have a couple of friends who have stories of very close calls where there were guns, arguments, family drama and lots of booze. It's pretty easy to pull a trigger and lots of people carry them. Fuck, I would.
Extensive anthropological research conducted between 2021 and 2022 for a doctoral thesis determined that the optimal response to the salutation "Raider's Nation!" is infact, "Raider's Nation, baby!". This response commonly yielded big smiles, raised fists, and hoots of joy. \
"Raiders Nation, baby!" was never met by a gunshot during the study, however one unfortunate (and perhaps unwise) study participant was shot in the shoulder after responding "Go fuck yourself buddy" to the common Raider's salutation.
Haha I'm gonna give this a go and pray that no further questions are asked
