The US is just a rough place.

Doesn't matter if you give them nukes, guns or knives.

It doesn't matter? Ok, let's legalize personal nuclear weapons. Background check optional.

And I'm obviously being 100% serious. I yearn for a world where everyone carries a tiny nuclear warhead in their pocket. It's the only way to achieve mutually assured self-defense.

No, it's a very safe place to live. Violent crime is rare overall. Most Americans have never seen anyone shot actually in person. The news coverage of the vast landscape of the USA focuses on each event of violence to magnify its emotional impact to get views

I doubt they were referring to the US, guns have only increased here lately.
