Because it is. You other think it happens to everyone or it happens to no one.

There were an estimated 90,185 rapes (legacy definition) reported to law enforcement in 2015. This estimate was 6.3 percent higher than the 2014 estimate, 7.1 percent higher than the 2011 estimate, but 4.5 percent lower than the 2006 estimate. (See Tables 1 and 1A.)

In 2017, the estimated number of murders in the nation was 17,284. This was a 0.7 percent decrease from the 2016 estimate, a 20.7 percent increase from the 2013 figure, and a 5.0 percent rise from the number in 2008. (See Tables 1 and 1A.)

There are roughly 2.5 million burglaries a year, 66% of those being home break ins. (Source: https://www.alarms.org/burglary-statistics/)

No one that is a victim of crime necessarily knew they would be. You should always be prepared.

Crime is trending down.

But but but the news says

Maybe people from the stabby countries will immigrate and do it?

Strap up.

Crime is trending down.

But but but the news says

No one said the crime was rising or falling. The point is no one wants to be one of those still alarmingly high 3 million victims.

At this point I know you're just trolling.

3 million out of 327.2 million populace.

12.2 million affected by obesity in the same.




What's the real threat?

If you don't have a problem being raped or murdered because there's more people that aren't, that's a you issue.

Most people though don't want to be violently assaulted or victims of crimes.

Assuming it'll be you is more of an issue imo.

Not assumption, it's being prepared. You've never heard the adage:
"Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised."

I'm more of a "I wish a motherfucker would try". Kind of guy.

So we agree then.

Nah....just know no motherfucker would try.

There’s a gun problem in certain parts of Canada. Just throwing that out there. Not as huge as America, but, enough to make you shake your head in absolute disgust.
If guns weren’t available, people would find other ways to kill, however, a lot of those ways would probably give you a better chance at survival. If I run away from a guy with a knife, unless he’s an amazing knife thrower at moving objects, I’ll probably get away. A gun, on the other hand, I’m probably dead.

I love guns in games, though, especially shotguns

So.... are you saying we should ban fat people? Okay, I agree with you.
