They’re such a paranoid nation. I might have posted this before, but I’ve got two pro-gun friends in the US - one is a Capitol Hill enforcement officer, trains every week. The other is a high school security guard, and has a concealed carry license. They both asked me about guns in the UK, “how do you protect yourself if you can’t have a gun?”
“Protect myself from what?”
They were baffled that I didn’t feel like everyone was always after me.

A friend was driving me around DC on a visit, we got lost and ended up in a bad neighbourhood.
Someone cut us off and gave us the finger as they passed. I said something like "what an asshole". My friend yelled at me "Don't make eye contact! Don't say anything! Everyone's packing (carrying a gun) here!" That's the problem. Everyone is afraid of everyone else, so they feel they need a gun to protect themselves.
