| joora said: I see that fear is directly linked to wanting/owning a gun (as in for self-defense purposes). Doesn't more guns create more fear? here guns are illegal without a permit which is not easy to acquire. People don't have to purchase one either. I had numerous walks trought the city (which is capital of my country) at times like 1am-6am without any fear of getting killed/injured. Personally, i would like it to stay that way. since our TV channels lately are filled with series like CSI and so on, i can see the "culture of fear" in USA, and i sometimes say to myself "thank God i don't live there, the fear would always haunt me, gun or no gun". I'm not saying that the series show realistic picture of living in america, but they pump the fear. Always murders, mass murders, kindapping, terrorism, extorsion blah blah. That or sitcoms. nothing in between. |
Old men take walks outside of my street in the middle of the night.(well except now in the winter, well even then when it isn't icy.)
Fear dosen't effect my position at all.
