That is begging the entire subject, let alone the question. No, no
place is Utopia. I did not say it was. But the violent crime rate in
the US is a much higher percentage than most countries. Countries with
wars and tribal fights aside, I believe the US is pretty much tops.
Someone published the statistics a while back with a link and I looked
at the figures many different ways and violent crime is just a scourge
in the US. That's what you need to figure out. Babies are being born
innocent and growing up to be monsters at a rate that outdoes other
countries by a great deal. Arming every citizen won't solve a thing.
