    We don’t need to smuggle a gun into a “cinema”. I love all the non American bad meme attempts though, keep it up. Its amusing.

      I think you either read something wrong, or are misunderstanding something, because that’s not what this is saying.

        Yes, it is. I very much see the double meaning here. You’re just focusing on the candy thing while ignoring the underlying insult and cheap shot to gun rights.

          What double meaning? The only meaning in the images is that it’s a bigger offense in the United States to bring your own candy into a movie theater than it is to bring a gun. Anything else you are reading into this is in your paranoid Conservative imagination.

          Whining about America being poked fun at is though, especially when it’s incredibly fair. No other countries have the gun issues we have. Satire is meant to make us laugh about something serious without actually distracting from a real issue. This post is quite successful at all of this unless we’re butthurt crybabies about it
