I didnt say it wasn’t irresponsible and I didnt say give them a pass. I said don’t give them years in prison for an honest harmless mistake. Maybe ban them from returning? Something less extreme…
They didn't get years in prison, look up "suspended sentence".
I understand what words mean, thanks. I’m responding to the hordes of teenagers frothing at the mouth for severe punishment in these cases. There are 5 now.
I wouldn't call 5 teenagers "hordes," but you do you.
5 legal cases so far. Hordes of people in this and similar threads trying to hang tourists from the nearest tree because they enjoy guns.
5 cases is not very many, considering how long guns have been legal in this country and illegal in others. Doesn't seem like a problem at all to me, just check your shit if you commonly carry murder implements around. 🤷♂️ Idk what else to tell you, these people didn't even get punished.
This change is like a month old in T+C. It’s 5 in a short period.
And I bet they never forget to check their bags for tools of death before international travel ever again. I really don't know how you could, if that's something you commonly carry around. It would be on mind constantly.
Can't you see? The dude is fighting for their life. He's literally spearheading the defense of those poor american. He might also be the one who will change the law of another country. 😄🫡
ammo
harmless
lol
Do you realize there are 5 cases already like this? Do you know why? Because this mistake is super common.
Do you realize that means this probably happened dozens of times a year before this recent change took effect? And that all those people in the past returned home with their ammo completely undetected by anyone, including themselves?
You know what something’s called when nobody even notices it happened?
Harmless. Absent of harm.
Do you realize there are 5 cases already like this? Do you know why? Because this mistake is super common.
Maybe it's common for Americans to be this lax with their weaponry?
I don't see the citizens of other countries making the same "common" mistake.
