    You should come to grips with the up-to-6-mass-shootings-per-day America has going on and remind yourself that acid is horrific but knives and acid compared to guns is a little different.

    • getting into a car
    • being 30 feet away
    • being behind a door

    All these things are different if you’re against a knife vs a gun.

    For example, a recent katana attack in my country was foiled when victims … kept 6 feet away until the dude was tased to shit by the popo.

    So yeah, 200-odd acid attacks were terrible to the victims; definitely, before we look at commonalities of acid attacks. But gunplay nearby is a different thing for everyone within like a half-mile.

      I’m not from the US and I’m familiar with how guns work but thanks for explaining.

      Having lived there I can say London really is a war zone these days.
