Her, folks!
I love the way this thread flows without insults. Not the way in other networks…
I’d like to look into this subject.
I’m European (and not a good English speaker, sorry) and we generally conceive our safety in the other way. We delegate the use of the force to the estate, in hands if the government. And I feel safe in general and it’s not a main problem for the society nowadays.
But, do you, individually and generally as American, feel yourself safe with the 2nd amendment or only feel more safe but always threatened?
I realize the difference among the vast US and its low population density and any country in Europe where anyplace is not more than 40 miles away a medium size city. And this is only one in a few.
I generally feel safe. Homicide is very far down the list of causes of death. I am taking a much larger risk every time I choose to enter a car and drive on the highway, that somebody isn’t going to randomly decide to swerve into me.
I understand this, but the topic is about guns, not cars even guns versus cars.
I mean, vehicles have their risks, but their advantage, their utility??
We should then debate among risks and utilities of guns and compared with the equivalent for cars.
My question was more about if you feel safe because and only because the 2nd amendment.
In my opinion, safety is a feeling (in my language, we have the same word for Safety and Security. I wish I don’t mess up with both concepts in English)
I misunderstood your question then. No, I don’t feel significantly more safe because of the 2nd amendment, but also not significantly less safe. It has little impact on me either way.
