You’re numb to every cop you see, because I guarantee they all have guns. Around 1/3rd of Americans personally own a gun, this isn’t a Spiders Georg situation.

I don't see cops very often.

Okay. Plenty of Americans see cops every day because they live in highly policed cities. The metro area I live in isn’t even that highly policed and I still see cops at least half the time when I go outside.
