I have had conversations with many Brits and your thought process is the result of not having any concept of the personal freedoms and liberties that we Americans are guaranteed by our Constitution. You have no reference point for the individual rights we are afforded. As you recall, we had a little skirmish about these rights a few years back.
You also don’t have a fundamental understanding of the vastness of the American west. To give you some idea, my County is almost as large as Wales.
I live in, for all practical purposes, a lawless environment which also has 150+ lb. lions and 400+ lb. bears right outside my front door. Take a look at my game camera thread in the Family Friendly forum.
This is a photoshop of three separate photos taken by a game camera located on one of my driveways.
Law enforcement response time to my property could be measured in hours, so Americans like myself are on our own when comes to protecting ourselves and our families from threats. Whether those threats walk on two legs or four.
Also, contrary to what you’re told by your media, gun violence is extremely rare in the overwhelming majority of the US. Politically created environments in our large cities, in an effort to secure votes for the purpose of greed, have produced a culture of violence within those cities. It’s such a shame and it’s the worst domestic policy failure in our nation’s history.
If you ever find your way to the central coast of Oregon, send me a PM and I’ll show you some beautiful countryside. [emoji1360]
