Some people know nothing about the world

Miguel has a lot more patience with idiots than I do.  Some dim bulb tweeted that gun owners need to get out and travel the world, to learn that you don't need a gun or something.  Miguel took her on a visual tour of the world, good and hard (warning: photos of graphic violence).  He concludes by musing on the psychology that would lead a person to such dim bulbitude:

I think these idiots think everything outside the US looks like an outside Parisian cafe in the fall sitting with Pierre, the French lover or a sleepy village in the mountains of Latin America where the children bring you coffee and pastries and they all know British English.

The only thing I can add is that Paris is pretty dangerous, too.  8 dead in the Charlie Hebdo shootings in January, 2015.  Later that day 4 jews were shot and killed at the Hypercacher kosher supermarket.  In November that year there were bombings and shootings at the Stade de France that killed 131 and critically injured a hundred more, with over 400 injured total.  The next year saw a terrorist hijack a truck and kill a bunch of people on the promenade in Nice.  The same thing happened in Berlin, with 12 dead at the Christmas Market.  2016 also saw a major terrorist attack in Brussels, killing 32.  Last year it was the turn for Strasbourg's Christmas Market - 5 dead.  And what American snob gun banners simply don't know is that pure mass shootings in Europe are almost always done with legally owned firearms.

I could go on and on, but these places only look like something out of Disney.
