A lot of y‘all probably know this but in Germany (my home country) some roads have no speed limit

Us Americans know that more guns the better 😎🇺🇸

The rest of the world agrees, only they realise it results in reducing the amount of Americans that think having more guns is better.

America needs to put SOME restrictions in place except "Yeah you aren't a serial killer, have an AK"

Well, if everyone else has a gun, the only way to protect yourself is to get a gun for yourself

Good point

Most other countries start with the default of "You all don't need a gun, so no one with a few exceptions is legally allowed one without very strict rules". Same works for personal nuclear weapons and anthrax funnily enough.

Most other countries either 1) have a much more homogenous society, or 2) you get arrested for flying specific flags, or for random private WhatsApp messages that aren't even controversial. (Or both 1 and 2)
The US is a horrible country, but there's no way that I'd prefer to live in Germany right now (maybe 600 years ago, but not now)

But at the end of the day, I guess it makes sense that we each prefer the problems of our own country because they are more familiar to us ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Homogeneous - but I get your point. But that's something a cohesive society aims for, not fracturing like happening in the US. The point of a society is cooperation.
Not sure number 2 is a real issue or problem in free societies or "most other countries", although some media and social sources with an agenda might try and convince you it is to distract you from other bigger issues they'd rather you not investigate.

I don't agree we prefer our own problems because they are familiar to us. We have a global flow of people, the very existence and foundation of the US is this, which implies people want a better life, not acceptance. Protests, emigration, changes of attitudes as a society to thinks like slavery, womens rights etc all point to an evolution of mindsets.
Every country evolves, people evolve.
Countries typically that were at war are now cooperating. Look at the US and Russia relationship now vs cold war, but also look at how Europe has healed from wars by change.

Well, if someone gets a gun illegally, you can’t protect yourself. If you had a gun, you could save yourself.

On so many levels, that's an incorrect assumption, backed up by facts. Illegally obtained or not, more deaths occur accidentally or by people who panic because they don't know how to use a gun or get angry or spur of the moment commit suicide than are defended by carrying a gun against people attacking them using an illegal gun. Better mental health support, change in society attitudes etc works much better.

Yeah but then there’s nothing stopping a mentally ill man from shooting everyone in sight 🥲

Cool, I can think of another American thing that's even better at doing that

Autobahns work for two reasons:
1. There are fewer cars in Germany than in the United States.
2. Drivers' ed in Germany is much more complex than in the United States.
3. Vehicle inspections in Germany are more rigorous than in the United States.
4. Road maintenance in Germany is performed more frequently than in the United States.

That’s four reasons

I promised two reasons and I delivered four.

Tuff

Number 4 is the big one

I live in Germany and this is too real.

Yoooo noch ein Deutscher

Honestly, that sounds amazing. Not the no guns part, but the no speed limit part.

yeah, in 'murica, you guys can get your fkin license susepnded for going 90 of your American miles

depends on the road maybe? I only got a citation

Ye, most highways only allow u to about 60-70 mph

if I lived in Europe that is where I would take a 6.5 V12 swapped supra

Twin turbos as well?

HECK YEAH!!

They need to regulate vehicles like they regulate guns.

guns are more effective murder weapons than guns

I assume you meant vehicles and no they aren't. Guns need reloading, vehicles can mow people down for hours on one tank of gas.

All that is needed to survive someone trying to run you over is a bag of jacks and their tires will be gone.

Hey it's legal

i can hear the words "driving in my car" from the fans a mile away

I found out that German guns are banned

I went there once to visit my uncle, and I got to ride in his tuned BMW M5 E60 (yes, the one with the f1-car-sounding-ahh V10 engine), and we hit 307 kph in it before we both shit ourselves and unc stopped accelerating.

The boring part:

Only 50-60% of the German Autobahn has no upper speed, however there's still an advisory of 130km/h (81mph). Crash and you're still potentially liable. Cars towing and large vehicles like Trucks and buses are max 100km/h and 80 km/h respectively.
Germans are also usually very sensible about it, its the rest of us that are often go crazy speed when let free.
Realistically, its like an unlimited buffet, you get excited at the idea at first and on occasion but the appeal wares off over time to consume a little more than normally until you realise you're a bit of a fatty & stop.
Besides, fuel is crazy price vs US at high speed usage.

Boring over. Resume.

Honestly I don't think it's boring, I think it's interesting. That makes a lot of sense.
Now that I think about it, the situation is actually very similar for Americans and guns.

Fun fact you can actually go 200 mph and it will still be the equivalent of going 50 miles per hour on the road

I did indeed know about the no speed limit roads. my parents went on one 1 time. They went slowly, because there was a traffic jam.

The real reason why they don't need a speed limit, lol

sometimes there isn't

Just wait til they hear about Switzerland, where they have a shooting range combined with a highway (and it's safe)
