It is important to recognize that gun violence is not a problem unique to large American cities. Rural communities, particularly in red states, are experiencing some of the highest rates of gun violence in the United States.
This is becoming really apparent, based on population, it is far more dangerous to live outside of cities. Guns are being used in rural America to settle even the most trivial of arguments.
Yep, how many stories have come to light in the last year or so where some braindead hick that subsists entirely on a diet of Tucker Carlson and Breitbart winds up murdering someone for turning around in their driveway or mistakenly ringing the wrong doorbell?
Conservative media has had these people utterly terrified of their own shadows for decades and predictably, now that the rhetoric has reached critical mass in the Trump era these lunatics are getting violent.
That happened about a half hour away from where I live and the victim was the same age as my older son so that one hit hard.
If I need to turn around and the only way to do so is to pull slightly into someone's driveway, I'll do that. It shouldn't be considered out of the ordinary at all. Worst case scenario, pick up the phone and call 911 to report the situation. There's no reason to go charging out, guns blazing, because someone was turning around in your driveway.
So you're saying convincing poorly educated people they absolutely need guns and that they should live in an insanely heightened state of fear leads to bad outcomes?
