Accept it for whit it is.

 

Don't go there and no cunto cares.

 

Backwater Nazi swamp (all colours/creeds included in that statement, they're all gung-ho fleg waving fucktards).

Actually only just under a quarter of Americans own a gun, just the mental ones tend to own loads. 

Its generally as safe as here as long as you avoid the bad parts of the big cities, except there's always the outside possibility of a nutcase going on rampage but statistically the chances of getting caught up in that are miniscule.  I think people from here don't realise its an absolutely massive country with a third of a billion people.  

Unfortunately the crazy people there are utterly batshit but on the whole its pretty safe and not the hellhole some portray it as.

He pops up now and again in a different guise with his antagonistic nonsense and ruins (even more than you’d think was possible) any vaguely America/Trump focused threads.

How would the police have reacted if a black man tested his constitutional rights by walking into a shop in body armour and carrying a rifle?

In 1967 The Black Panthers exercised their constitutional rights by wandering into a government building carrying rifles to protest about racist gun laws in California "keeping black people unarmed and helpless". Within months Governor Ronald Reagan signed a bill making it illegal to openly carry firearms. The bill was even nicknamed The Panther Bill. 

I imagine the reaction would be considerably less measured now, given the shoot on sight policy the polis seem to have with black men/boys.

Again, I have to violently disagree with you when you said, "Its generally as safe as here as long as you avoid the bad parts of the big cities".  This is just bollocks.

If you take away a few violent hotspots The US is actually a much safer place wrt violent crime than The UK.  There are vast swathes of the country which have ridiculously low crime rates and where the general population are much more civic-minded than we are - even compared to leafy Bucks .

You are right to say it's 'not the hellhole some portray it as'.  I've been a couple of dozen times and enjoyed every single visit and have never felt unsafe.

Violently disagree eh?  You want to make something of it?  What I said was actually 100% accurate, you.can't just cherry pick areas, we are discussing the country as a whole, and as a whole statistics show its slightly more dangerous than here. That's just reality.  There are many and many large areas that are extremely safe that's true,but taken as a whole violent crime rates are a little higher than here, though concentrated in small areas.

I was exaggerating for effect.   You were mostly right but it sticks in the craw to say it

If you’re taking away the US' few violent hotspots then take ours away too or your comparison is also bollocks. 

I'm glad you felt safe. We spent a week there when I was a kid and my mum had her bag nicked. That had never happened in the 70+ years she's lived elsewhere conclusively proving that the US is 3,640 times more crime ridden than the rest of the world.

Or maybe personal experience is poor evidence?

Surprised to hear that tourist ghettos in America are well protected from undesirables. Apart from the tourists obviously.
