    Is it normal in the USA to allow the general population to use deadly force? That’s fucked up.

      Lots of ifs/ands/ors/ and buts. Varies by state and generally only under legally defined self defense situations with some judicial discrepancy, mind you it varies by state and some regions are so loose with it that you can just get murdered by going on someone’s property. Which may make sense if you live in the middle of fucking nowhere and give warnings and are a thirty minute drive from another person but there have been cases where shit like that happens in suburbs,.

        If you went back in time and showed them a modern day assault rifle, they would probably have some opinions about the second amendment.
