    “Several times” across a country with 300 million people? That’s nothing but paranoia. You’re significantly more likely to be struck by lightning.

      Do you routinely walk into open expanses during electrical storms?

        Do you routinely go around knocking on strangers doors? Or pulling into their driveways?

          Yeah, sometimes. I live in a country with strict gun laws though, so I’m less concerned about getting shot than I am about getting hit by lightening.

            Kinda weird to be randomly knocking on doors, but to each their own. The country is also massive, just visit the nice states. Depending on where you live, youd be just as likely to be stabbed then shot at for knocking on a door.

                  Yeah, we’re not having a discussion. You’re just kinda jerking yourself off and moving the goal posts so I’m out.

                    I’m not moving anything. You think because a couple of people, in a country of 300 million killed by done crazy dude when they knock on his door, that the whole country is at risk. It’s a completely preposterous position. And this is not an exclusive risk to the US.
