We have many many POLICE... yet, our own Supreme Court ruled that that is all they are REQUIRED to do... the police policing that is. They are not required to protect our homes or our familes ( that would be pro-active, If they see something suspicious, they may investigate... even then they are beholden to get some kind of permission... lest they get sued by the very people they are trying to help).
So what does this mean... well as anyone can attest, the police usually arrive AFTER something happens. Fat lot of good that will do you... even with their loaded shotgun on the seat next to them.
As to us looking like freaks... I thought every other country thought we were freaks even WITHOUT the whole weapons thing!!!
