So if you run into one fleeing America you just avoid them?

I was just being silly. They can't get their guns into my country and Americans with passports are usually chill so I don't mind them at all IRL. ✌️

They can’t get their guns into my country

Haha about that...

TSA catches about 7.4 guns in carry-on luggage for every million passengers.. They miss 19 in 20 fake weapons. They don't care about properly declared guns in checked bags.

Americans getting caught accidently bringing guns into foreign countries is common enough it often doesn't make the news. Presumably most people who show up in a country with minimum sentences for guns just ditch it in a river.

If they're fleeing america they're not American anymore. We still call them American as a way to acknowledge where they are from, they're our friends and family in the place they end up.

"One fleeing America". What is this?

  • a continent on the run?
  • a country on the run?
  • a citize who lost his "n" - possibly because running?
  • one of many?

I need to know!
