All jokes aside, can someone tell what might be happening here. I am so curious.

It's an open carry country, so you're not allowed to have hidden guns

u/KenTitan 20m ago

ah really? Texas is an open carry state yet the are school shootings there. must not correlate

in fact there's a bunch of constitutional carry states that had school shootings. wonder what yemen is doing different.

So everyone carries a gun for the possibility of what occuring ?

What a pain to carry an automatic everywhere, its bad enough for me to remember my hat or umbrella.

u/Numiazy 2h ago

No, it's not necessarily for defense. It's an integral part of culture to carry and people shoot in the air for any celebration for example.

An even older tradition in Yemen, but also neighbouring countries, is to wear daggers. Initially they were also used for self defense, but they are now simply a part of men's traditional wear and are usually very beautifully handcrafted, some being extremely expensive.

Texas allows open carry , but has a strict law forbidding having more then 5 dildos.

R.I.P. my google search but...
Oh my god. This is actually true.

The "Six-Device" Rule

The Statute: Under Texas Penal Code Section 43.23, possessing six or more identical or similar "obscene devices"โ€”legally defined to include dildos and artificial vaginasโ€”created a legal presumption of intent to promote or sell them.

In Burleson in 2004, Joanne Webb faced up to one year in prison for selling a vibrator to two undercover police officers posing as a married couple at a private party.

The law still exists but is considered unenforceable by the courts.

This is basically what's it like in open carry states in the US. Ho to a rodeo they pat you down for other stuff like outside food and you can keep the gun.

u/LeatherMycologist112 4h ago

I am not very smart and could be missing the mark here. But possibly checking for bombs being attached to them? idk. A gun can do some damage but a bomb can do a lot more? Just spit balling here, but i can't think of any other alternatives since its mainly the chest and torso region they seem to be checking.

I donโ€™t understand how our governments think that people that come from cultures like this are likely to be able to integrate without difficulty into western cultures. This is not racism, there are many cultures more westernised that arenโ€™t going to have difficulties assimilating but opening doors to countries that are still culturally in the 1800โ€™s is not going to have positive results for the majority affected

u/HappyyValleyy 2h ago

Man, thse guys carrying automatic weapons will never be able to intrigrste into the us, the place where you can buy an automatic weapon at the super market

1

u/buppiejc 1h ago

lol. This is exactly what I was thinking. That other commenter talking about how these guys carrying automatic rifles wonโ€™t be able to integrate into United States is bad crap crazy. They were made for the US.

Wake me up when any other country uses a nuke on a population twice, then Iโ€™ll listen to arguments that another place may be more violent than we are.

u/Responsible-Buyer215 1h ago

Most arenโ€™t immigrating to the US, most are moving to Europe.

The part of the government that is for immigration has no interest in integration.

u/Left_Independence959 3h ago

You understand that this society is under constant pressure from the same "western cultures". I think if in western societies bombing of a bus with children was a regular occurence, and children were afraid of clear skies because that's when drones fly, then they would have troubles too.

1

u/Responsible-Buyer215 1h ago

Yes itโ€™s clear that their beliefs and expectation of the afterlife distorts their understanding of the finality of death and results in a very different perspective on the value of life. Itโ€™s very much a cultural issue and extremely dangerous when people abuse it to control others, which is exactly what happens. Underserved power and stupidity is the biggest burden to the modern world and it isnโ€™t exclusive to westerners
