Actually, yeah, if you try to talk to someone's girlfriend in the wrong place you probably won't get shot, but you would be in pretty big danger. Violence is extremely prevalent in the u.s.

Sort of reductive.

Violence is bad in America. People feel it appropriate to start arguments about politics in public with strangers. Those people are allowed to have guns on them and in their cars. An angry person with a gun on their hip is just different.

Thats just as a man too, women deal with worse, and I would argue even have a reason to need a gun themselves in some situations.

Its violent all around here and it comes from regular ass people, like your neighbors.
