From a comment:
“It wasn’t that long ago in American history (100 or so years) when everyone had to arm themselves when walking around out West to protect themselves. If they can’t figure out how to control the crime issue, we might be entering a turnaround time period where we have to live in those times again.”
Maybe he’s right.
I like to tell the liberals that use the “wild west” reference that law abiding citizens openly carried becuase, iniitally, it was the criminal-element who used guns to rob them.
Drives them (even more) bat-schmidt crazy.
