Duh !!! Most of us don't live in gated ,security-patroled communities. Most of us do not have politician's high quality medical insurance and care. Most of us live in towns like San Jose and Fresno with huge, make that HUGE and growing violent gang problems, with police forces that are not even close to being up to the job.
Fresno's gang violence problem was on tv the other night, as an example. Just one gang, the bulldogs, some violent uneducated drug-selling murdering Mexicans ,,,has about 4500 members!! And that is just ONE gang of many in Fresno!! They have killed Fresno Police officers, who don't have the RICO laws to jail and deport every gang member linked to a killing or felony.
And San Jose is almost as bad, but mostly on the multiracial east side. We just don't talk about the violence risk,,,and the inability of the cops and the justice system and our government to effectively deal with it. It is getting worse, year after year. And there is no hope, even with a remarkable new President.
The NRA publishes a magazine with a page of home and personal assault stories in the front. We hear about these violent crimes around us all the time, in Oakland with constant murders, and Richmond, and San Francisco, and even Vacaville.
So no wonder people are going out to buy guns and try to defend themselves, since the police can't,,, and the media just counts the bodies.
