A well-armed society is less prone to violence

City folk, and Europeans especially, find it difficult to understand that guns teach and help earn respect and that a well-armed society is less prone to violence.
Rural Americans understand this because we were raised around guns and understand that there are wild animals in the woods.
I am reminded of the cougar that killed a jogger in a park on the San Francisco peninsula, of another cougar in a friend’s backyard, of the moose that stepped in front of a car, or the bears at Yosemite tearing up trash cans.
