I have to agree with everyone who said get law enforcement involved. Michigan is also an open carry state and a "shall issue" concealed state. I'm hard boiled, martially trained and despite my disabilities, god help the tough guy or hooligan who lays hands on me, cause I'll make sure those hands never work again. I have stories, but will not share them here. Needless to say, a hard life and age are catching up with me. I remember distinctly the exact moment I lost the sense of immortality I used to have and the realization of just how fragile we all are. I no longer engage with ragers, I leave that for the police. I drive differently too. I don't abide tail gating and I used to really mess with people who would do that to me, including slowing down or break checking. Now I just maintain constant speed until tail gaiters go around. I don't let it bother me.
For our European members, Yeah, it's a sh!t show with the gun violence everywhere in America. I crunched the latest Interpol and FBI statistics a few years ago. For every 1 person who is the victim of gun homicide in Canada, Japan, Australia, Great Britain, France and Germany combined, 30+ US citizens are killed. Like most change in this country, We'll probably only see real reform when it affects our politicians and their families, maybe not even then. I wish our government had the balls the Aussies do. Jim was right about meal team 6, they'll be on the receiving end of a US military drone before they get one shot off if they try anything. It is ridiculous that we allow non trained civies to purchase ar15s and similar. Even that American Sniper dude won a Darwin award because he thought it was a great idea to put assault rifles in the hands of severely mentally ill veterans for therapy. And look here, assault rifle fans, just be honest, the reason mass shooters and the untrained love assault rifles is because of how incredibly lethal the ballistics are. Its an open secret, you don't need to be a good shot or particularly skilled to kill someone with an ar15, you just need a hit near an artery. Plenty of ballistic gel videos on youtube showing cavitation verses smaller firearms. That poor lady who's baby's head exploded from a direct hit during the El Passo mass shooting, I would love to hear a gun nutter try to justify that loss and trauma with her. ER doctors in some of the roughest areas in our nation who have had to deal with gun wounds their entire career talk about how very different the injuries from these weapons are. To my fellow US members, at least for now, everyone who is legally allowed to own a gun has the absolute right to do so, but no one has the right to be a dumb @ss with one and there is too much of that going arround. I think as a nation we have proven something needs to give in terms of gun law reform.
