They say they're the home of the free but freedom usually goes hand in hand with a sense of security, which is clearly not prevalent in that country right now.
Can't imagine raising kids in places where these sketchy characters are marching around streets and parks with real or fake guns. Skinned knees should be the most realistic/probable concern for a parent when their kid is out playing.

I have spent a decade living in red America after growing up in a mostly purple but on the bluish side part of the country. While there are instances pretty much every day when I question why in the world I want to live in this part of the country, guns usually aren't one of the things that cause it. While I do giggle when I see some wannabe rambo carrying in Target, I usually go on with my day. I've never felt that I could or couldn't say something because someone might be carrying.
