Some people refuse to be victims and until this wild west society we live in changes, I will not stand down.

Dan - and others - why is the US a "wild west society"? By your account, it seems like every civilised person in the US can't go about their normal business without running the risk of being attacked in the streets or in their home. And therefore, goes the logic, everyone must be armed in just in case it happens to them. So - does everyone in the US carry a gun all the time to be safe? If you don't, what are the chances of you being mugged/attacked/injured/killed?

What kind of society can that be - and how can it be changed?
