    What if I told you that I’ve lived here over 20 years and have been all over the country and never been around a shooting, not even once?

    We have a gun problem, 100%, but it’s not as prevalent as the news would like you to believe and unlike people that don’t live here would like you to believe we’re not all constantly getting shot all the time. It happens, it happens a lot and every single time it does it’s unacceptable, but it’s not really a concern for the vast majority of the people living here.

    Anecdotally I’ve been mugged at knife point in UK.
