And before anyone says "but there's crime!", you're not helping your case that the American approach is working. Most developed countries simply don't have that problem, and citizens just don't walk around armed, like, ever. Not unless you're armed security or police or something at least. Hell, in some countries, even police aren't necessarily walking around with firearms as daily carry.
It's kind of hard to present the USA as a country of brave patriots when your examples are how you're cowering behind heavy armaments because you're so scared of your fellow countrymen.
