    Something definitely broke in society

    Population density has increased dramatically, more people in constant contact = more conflict with opportunities to escalate.

    We should let people out in the middle of Alaska carry GAU-10s if they want, and if you live in a city you shouldn’t be allowed to carry a handgun.

    It’s a question of risk assessment, crazy people have a rough normal distribution, but are significantly more dangerous when armed in dense population centers.

      There’s precedence for this, as most towns in the Old West would require people to check in their guns when they arrived.

      If you can carry a GAU-8 Avenger, which is traditionally mounted in an A-10 Warthog, no one is going to stop you.
