Today, I was screamed at and told that I was denying someone's "second amendment" by not letting him through with a gun. I work at the border; he was trying to enter Canada. This is not the first time, and it probably won't be the last. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work, I was screamed at and slapped by a woman for supposedly violating her 2nd Amendment rights. In reality, I'd simply turned her away from the 10 items or less line because she had well over the allowed number of items. I've no fucking idea what's wrong with some people. FML
Today, on my first day at my new job delivering mail, I was yelled at by a guy, who threatened to shoot me if I "trespassed" on his property. He made me toss his mail toward his porch from the street, before telling me to get lost. FML
Today, in an attempt to win a political argument, I recorded myself walking into a gun store and asking which gun would be best to hypothetically deal with my neighbor's annoying kids. I now have a recording of myself being chewed out, banned for life, and perp-walked out the door. FML
Today, I met my Canadian friend at the airport. As we were heading into the city, I told him not to worry about all the US stereotypes and that gun crime in my city is rare. A few hours later, we witnessed a guy get shot in the street in broad daylight. Now he's too scared to leave the house. FML
Today, here in Canada, my father-in-law talked to me about how people who are "not Canadians" are destroying the country. He called me an "import" several times within the course of an hour. I've been a citizen for over twenty years. FML
Today, I got screamed and honked at by a driver who felt I was in the way of his turn. I was on foot, and on the sidewalk. FML
Today, when I tried to go to work, there were gun nuts blocking the road near my apartment, protesting something or other. I called the cops to break it up, only to be told, "We can't do anything because they have rights." Don't I have the right to not be terrorized by lunatics? FML
Today, I got threatened with a gun at the drive-thru, all because my coworker forgot to include extra fries in the guy's order. FML
Today, my 6-year-old son was so angry at me for not buying him overpriced candy at the airport that he told a security guard I had a machine gun in my suitcase. The interrogation was not pleasant. FML
Today, my friend was pulled over and told to get out of the car. The officer motioned for me to get out of the car too so I reached behind me to get my shoes. He then pointed his gun at my face and frantically asked my friend if I had a gun. My friend calmly replied, "No, but shoot him anyway." FML

Canadians are just generic Americans anyway.

You sir are very ignorant. You mean to tell me you legitimately know people who think slaughter is ok? Pro gun rights does not mean "I have the right to kill anyone I want"

I don't think these people realize that Canada is a different country.

Sadly, some people do not. When I worked for AT&T wireless customer service, aka hell, I would have people calling in bitching about roaming charges for using their phone in Mexico and Canada. They truly believed that the two countries were part of the U.S.A. It boggles the mind sometimes.

I understand being pissed about the roaming charges. They're all under the same North American numbering plan (including the Caribbean islands). This makes it seem like everything is uniform and should be billed that way. I'm not saying they're right, I just understand why some people do this.

Some people eh ?!

Please make sure you understand people's views before you comment on them. The pro-gun rights crowd are not "pro-gun violence." They are against gun violence. They argue that gun rights actually reduce gun violence, because it puts more guns in the hands of law abiding citizens so they can protect themselves from violent people who obtain guns illegally. I'm not trying to start a debate here. I'm just clarifying what you don't understand.

What about the pro-environment and pro-endangered animals people? Aren't they for shark attacks, bear attacks, and trees falling on houses then?

Don't be silly. Rednecks don't want to leave their own towns, let alone leave their country. That's where the ~foreigners~ are.

Ugh, people like that make me ashamed to be an American. Originally written, the 2nd amendment only mentions that the militia has the right to bear arms, " A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." They added individual rights in '08 because of court cases..

"the right of the people to keep and bare arms shall be infringed." How is it you wrote that out and don't understand it? Yes, the amendment mentions militias, but it specially says "people," in that phrase, not "militia."
gracehi 33
shall *not be infringed. Oops. That was a pretty important word to forget. My bad.

Man, I started reading these comments and completely forgot what the FML itself was. Woo for getting off topic!

Americans, by and large, are ignorant about our own constitution. Expecting them to realize that it doesn't even apply in Canada is asking way too much.

And what exactly leads to that ignorant, over-generalized conclusion? The fact that one man doesn't understand exactly what the 2nd Amendment means?
