This is very Wild Wild West to me. In the late 19th century the US was still a very rural place by European standards. So people needed weapons for their own security. Yet it doesn’t seem so logical for today’s mostly urbanized American society to allow such an easy access to lethal weapons. In fact, most of these people end up being used on ordinary people rather than criminals, marauders and/or buffalos, wolves etc.
In fact I see it as a kind of miracle that US police forces are still able to operate and still be very efficient in their duty in a country in which gangs have access to weapons of active combat in a completely legal manner
