Tbf if I lived in America and I saw someone dressed all in black hop my back fence I'd be at the door with some sort of pew pew machine.

Not a huge fan of people owning their own guns, but needs must when it comes to your country I suppose.

You may have a bit of a caricature of America - the stories you here are generally exceptions, not rules, if they were mundane everyday American life, they won't be news.

It'd be a bit like me seeing a biography of a French alcoholic and riffing on it with "Tbf if I lived in France and I was out to eat [in their fabulous elaborate traditional gourmand cuisine], I'd buy at least one bottle of wine with a meal. Not a huge fan of people drinking too much, but needs must when it comes to your country I suppose."

Are they exceptions, though? You certainly have some exceptional statistics: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm...

And many other stats available. I think my point still stands.
