By his logic any country Americans visit and are gunned down we should boycott as well. How many nations has this occurred in, I wonder? Also, why did Australia follow us into wars in the Middle East as comrades if they dislike our country so much.

BTW I find it vile that foreign politicians/elites are trying to affect our policies as a SOVEREIGN NATION.

STAY OUT OF OUR AFFAIRS!

Are there a lot of people touring Duncan, OK?

BTW, an Australian is probably 100 times more likely to be killed by a tornado in OK than by a bullet.

If that former PM wants to boycott Duncan he can feel free, but ****** needs to know that the Chicagos and Philadelphias of America - these places in our country that have the STRICTEST gun laws - are FAR more detrimental to anyone's health than rural America. What a dense dude.

Some people, I tell ya.
That's debatable. Who is doing the admiring? Canada is the most respected nation on Earth. We're envied by the 3rd world for sure.

Another country wants to boycott us over this and one of their citizens was murdered... yet when asked, a White House rep claimed to have no knowledge of this case?

Or is it because one of the suspects looks like Obama's son and had racist tweets that implied retaliation for the Zimmerman verdict, that the administration would choose to ignore this?

I can assure you there are a LOT of people who don't want to live in Canada, and more that wouldn't if they knew what they were getting, LOL.

I also think that question is a total hypothetical in so many ways it is laughable you could possibly even ask it.

Yeah a couple brits wandered the wrong direction after hitting the bars in Sarasota, FL and instead of finding IHOP they walked into the projects just east of downtown and got shot dead.

Here's a lovely conversation between the shooter and his 1/2 brother....nice guys. He got life no-parole.
