There’s no place in a civilised democratic society for people to be walking around with guns. America, on the other hand…
In a civilised society, you don’t fear every random passerby will try to kill you, so it is irrelevant what they are carrying.
But, really, life is much safer without that many guns. I encourage America to try it. I imagine I could get to enjoy using an assault rifle, but it can’t be worth all the shootings.
