re: #50 Renaissance_Man

Who are these people and why are they not assaulted or slaughtered like cattle in other First World nations where they are, presumably, defenceless?

Some are attacked even in other countries. Some are the rare cases that even in Europe get shot at, and in Europe are allowed to carry weapons in many countries, like diamond merchants.

Otherwise, the reason may be, ironically, that the US has a lot more guns so more people need guns to defend themselves from all the guns.
