    USA had gun stores shutdown originally due to virus lockdowns, great all good , I get that.
    But now their court has ruled that gun stores can now reopen as they are an 'essential' service!
    Other closed retail businesses have boarded up their windows as civil unrest is expected. When you lose your job in the US you lose your health insurance because it is provided by your employer. Many more people on the streets now, America is not a great country, why do they always think they are? At least now they can maintain the shooting of each other with the peace of mind that they can restock purchasing more ammo - go ahead, knock yourself out guys!

    Talk about a country untethered from reality. 

    The 'super-power' USA has many states protesting en mass in the streets at the lockdown, many citing that, guess what, their 'ammendments' (freedoms) are being violated! They have around 30,000 dead from virus (Australia around 70). 
    Trump is on their side, the longer this clown remains in power, the more dead & the more desperate this fucked-up country becomes!
    Dopey, flag-waving, wild-west, gun-toting rednecks. Knock yourselves out boys, no other country will let you in now, unfortunately your self implosion is imminent. 

    sums it up WG.

    a few points to consider, the population of USA, like the state of Texas is the size of NSW but has a population the same as whole of Australia.  also they are moving from winter to Summer we are going into Winter. they also have a Capitalist health system, we have a socialist system. Not commenting on what's right, just pointing out a few facts.
    Also I saw someone in New Zealand taking government to court.

    Thats just meaningless.  The population densities and demographics are poles apart! (its the kind of vague bollocks that Trump uses every time he opens his mouth)
    Again, who gives a chit how Trump runs USA into the ground - they voted the dickhead in so they reap the rewards.

    To the contrary, we have all reaped the rewards with the stock market up nearly 50% since he took over. He also has brought unemployment down to a figure never seen since 1969. Unconventional , absolutely! Bullshit Artist..undeniable but a definite get it done Fuck tradition kinda guy.

    Well put tussock. 
    Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone has a fair idea of  the population of USA. Point still remains, Trump was late to act (originally called it a hoax) and continues to mismanage the crisis  
    by ignoring medical advice of course.
    Note the screenshot is from a mob called 'The Anti Leftist', jeez.

    USA roughly the size of Australia, UK you could fit the whole of the UK into the state of NSW seven times. And the state of Texas same size as NSW. so with 320 million in an area that size, very hard to social distance them.

    May God bless America, I say. Better than a multitude of alternatives, despite obvious shortcomings.
    And no better a friend to Australia.

    Other states are now following - more rednecks with ridiculously massive open carry guns (at least they're free hey).

    Hard to be a redneck when you come from the North of America..

    Alright, alright, I use that label. Sure, they originated in the South but their type & ideology has exists & is networked through the entire country (a cursory websearch with the right keywords reveals all).
    What would you call such a creature PB? A concerned citizen?

    Been a long time since I saw that movie. You could be right - maybe he did get lucky.
    The duelling banjos scene was memorable - dicka ding ding ding....!
