    You mean the remote rural areas where the chance of being violently assaulted in your own home by a stranger are at their lowest?

    Good thing America sells guns to neo-nazis and domestic abusers with minimal requirements for safe handling and storage then. Otherwise some poor farmer might have their iPad stolen.
