It was in the news in the UK a few years ago that a doctor visited the US to see some of his family that lived there, and while he was asleep in bed a stray bullet hit him and he died. Obviously I’m sure these things are unlikely but it’s still kind of scary. That and I find the idea of walking around and having deranged psychos all around me potentially having a gun and them being able to pull it out and end my life at any moment kind of… unpleasant.
Now its domestic threats, The police gang, the black man, the rich man north of richmond, drug addicts, whatever 24hr news media is spinning up to keep numbers up. Combine it with internet echo chambers where the 1% think they are the 100, you got a nice stew for all kinds of horror.

Isn’t having a crazy powerful military enough? The Spanish and French aren’t about to set fires in the US anymore.
