Im not american but hopefully nobody. Their whole rationality for having guns everywhere all the time is that if everyone has a gun nobody needs a gun.

We, the rest of the world, think its a stupid idea, but if the government is literally killing people in the streets and declaring the murderers as heroes, its not looking so daft.

Simply being prepared for the worst is a plenty fine plan. Just, actually be prepared, don't just buy a gun and expect to know how to use it proficiently when the need arises.

Not a stand up fight, there should be enough in a crowd that if they don't feel safe trying to execute another person like they did Alex.
