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.
