No. "Unauthorised firing" is rare and is almost always a terrorist attack. My point is that in a society where a substantial percentage of people are armed, combat trained and care deeply about

You have to have served in the Army and thus been trained in weapons (at least a bit) to be able to get a gun licence. It is quite a strict process with background and psych tests. I think that you also

Super interesting experience you had. I'm not suprised that you had that reaction. Guns are a great responsibility and not for everyone. They require a lot of training to use safely and effectively. Even

Interesting. A lot of conflicting data about the views of the Iranian people. I've seen data suggesting that only 30% of Iranians are actually Shia Muslims and that there is a big move to atheism and

A huge amount to unpack in this post and there is plenty of good analysis. But there are also some big flaws. 1 Israel is not isolated and is far more influential and powerful globally than ever. This
