    This decision is nothing short of baffling to me. Carrying such items shows you aren’t naive and you care for your safety, so why come to the US in the first place?

      Probably wanting to attend higher ranked universities lol.

      One of the most famous liberal quotes from the pro-west crowd was “Everyone in the US owns guns, that’s why it’s peaceful and no chaos exists at all”.

      At least this particular student knew the danger somewhat lol.

          Even the phrasing and everything matches lol, guessing it’s because the brainrot spreads from the western libs through the pipeline of the US media machine. Stuff like this still gets spread regularly lol:

          • “In the US you can survive off washing dishes and buy a nice big house”

          • “You can taste/smell the sweetness of freedom in the air”

          They’ve even begun to label themselves as Succdem “real leftists” and calling Communists “pinko fascists” lol. Amazing logic of true leftists aim to destroy socialist movements and side with their capitalist overlords.

            Over here the liberals always copy American left-liberal race positions and use it to hate the majority of the people lol.

            Chinese and Indian people are oppressed just like Black and Indigenous people in the US!!!

            And they would say shit like right-wingers here [as in my country] should stop copying American conservatives, oblivious that by comparing our politics to theirs, they are the ones that have become American liberals.

            The liberal virus as coined by Samir Amin still rings true.

          • I’ll repeat some stuff I’ve seen, and see if it rings a bell.

            to not take too much space.

            • “they care about their people and want them to be safer” -under a video of a huge amount of patrol vehicles in the USA.

            • “why do we side with weak insignificant African countries instead of Europe”

            • “healthcare isn’t free, we pay for it with our tax money” under a post asking if Algeria has public healthcare or not.

            • “the government is corrupt because it doesn’t let me import a Toyota supra”

            • “our streets are dirty compared to America because we live in military rule” (completely ignoring prisoners being used for slave labor to clean the streets)

            • “we shouldn’t build commie blocks they’re ugly, also we should put a tax on slums to end them”

            • “the issues we face are because of our mentality”

            • “we should privatize education and healthcare because making them public turns people lazy”

            • “the reason Algeria doesn’t have flying cars is because it was socialist”

            • “Leftism is poor people’s mentality”

            • “Algerians have diabetes because if he’s hungry he eats bread because it’s extremely cheap, then if he gets diabetes he gets diagnosed for free, and when he needs insulin it’s also free” so basically poor people must die lol.

            • and the shit that made me delete reddit “we should improve tourism by advertising our country more, we already have (insert very orientalist shit) here”

              Holy shit, outside of the last one each one of those checks out on my Lib bingo sheet.

              Always with the “capitalism brings out the best in competition” and “why do all the rich want to move to the US? Because it’s heaven on earth” mentalities with these people.

    Classic rookie mistake. All you have to do, every time you leave your house, is the incredibly normal thing of keeping a running tally of what around you is cover and what is concealment.

      Not entirely true, the federal law restricts that right only for citizens of the US. But that isn’t even relevant here, this guys just wanted a Kevlar vest, not gun.

    Maybe they took it away because it infringed on the rights of Americans to have guns that would work on him /s
