But it’s impohrtant tah remembah that we’re talkin’ ’bout spee’ahs, swohrds, n’ axes—shit like that. Not semi-automatics ah explosive fuckin’ ohrdinances. The Vikings nevah cahred fahr that shit n’ they still don’t, even if the eastuhrn trade routes kindah fuckin’ backfi’ahd on ’em n’ now Stockholm’s got violence tah rival that’ah Chicago ah LA.
