Meh, I have seen someone shot over road rage and it wasn't even their fault. I have been robbed at gun point in Tri-cities in Eastern Washington, not exactly a big city. I know a women who got murdered by her husband for talking to another man.

A lot of people die senselessly from guns in the US, but I get your point.

Absolutely not denying that it's a problem, just trying to provide context to the idea that everyone in the US will shoot you just for existing or that bullets are just constantly whizzing through the air at all hours.

I've had guns pointed at me as well, and funnily enough, more have been from jumpy pigs than from regular people

Not everyone, but there is a strange mix of gangsters and rednecks that will absolutely kill you over nothing.

I have had more people pull guns on me than officers and I would rather it be an officer any day over a road rager or a drug addict.

Having said that, there is definitely something to the nervous with a tool officer pulling their gun out in fear that is very unsettling. Also, it is always your fault if an officer shoots, even when it is clearly not your fault. I really hate that.
