Dan wonders about unreported gun crime?

Oh yes. Forgot to mention. When our police get it wrong there are usually high level resignations and fallout, rather than another day at the doughnut stand.

Our citizens are indeed armed. Armed with a single police protocol and coordination to try to keep us safe. It seems to work too, given the statistics Backwoodsman offered.

The idea of a national guard would be abhorrent. We only see military dudes when rivers break their banks or laying poppy wreaths.

There's a reassuring reason for that.
