OK, but is it the regulations that make them "better". If you'd put the
same regulations in the urban areas, do you think these would change for
the better?

I admit there was a time where people needed a gun themselves, and maybe in
the rural areas of America the situation that gave rise to this need still
exists. Biut in the cities? Put a lot of the same species together (let's
just call it "too much") and the species will start infighting. Give them
better weapons, and the fighting will be harder. OK, it's a good thing from
Nature's view, Man is regulating himself better in overpopulated areas. But
do you want victims? Even if they are "the other guy"? Yes, yes, I know,
"if he threatens me, that's his fault". But you know what I mean.

Someone else remarked in a post that these days people _will_ kill you more
easily, if even you give them the stuff they want. But isn't that just a
result from "killing someone" becoming more common, exactly because it
happens so often? And because they are afraid that if they go away, you
_still_ might try to grab a gun and go after them?
