I AM scared....

To me it just seems logical to be scared when every guy I meet could be carrying a gun.
It may seem "logical" to some people, but in reality that is not the case.

For the last 6+ years i lived in parts of the country where I haven't even heard of anyone who doesn't own a gun. In fact, usually several guns. Many people carry. And no one is afraid. People are nice and friendly. I've never felt this safe when living in NYC and suburbs, where the only people with guns were the police and the criminals. Curiously, incidents of gun violence seemed a lot more common in NYC.

Also curiously, as Spengler mentioned in the article i posted yesterday, the "disarmed" Europe suffers more mass killings of children than we do. Not to mention that when it happens in the US, it is far more likely to happen where people are disarmed.

The slaughter of children is sufficiently rare in the West that it overwhelms us with horror and grief. There have been five school shootings in Europe during the past 10 years with 10 or more dead, and two in the United States - the 2007 Virginia Tech incident and the Sandy Hook shootings. Despite its much stricter gun control, Europe has been the scene of more mass school killings than the United States. We Americans would be fooling ourselves to think that stricter gun laws would help
