I’m fairly left leaning, in the US I’d own a weapon. But only because of how much they are a part of life there.
Living in a country where gun ownership is the exception, I’m only pro gun in the sense that I like things that go boom.
What I like more is the relative certainty my neighbor won’t pull a piece on me on a bad day and we don’t have to kit schools out with dystopian crap like panic rooms in case some deranged lunatic rolls up.
Dont know if youve been to the US or know anyone here personally but guns are not as prevalent as you might think. Theyre definitely “around” but id imagine many people could go their whole life without seeing one. Obviously you have states like texas where they have an open carry day, You can see people walking around with rifles and ARs. But not including police officers, and millitary personel. I just dont see them. Your paranoia is justafied tho, we definitely see the worst of humanity often enough.
They’re only a part of life for the gun fetishists, who only really sprung up after the assault weapon can was overturned. If you are not seeking them out, in most states, you don’t see them ever.
