    you realize longgun is not a musket loader, but a category of guns that have a barrel right? Like besides owning HandGuns we can also own rifles and shotguns. But we don’t have gun violence like the US does where kids need kevlar backpacks

      Maybe you would have an okay time since your police is not militarized like ours. Ours scare the shit out of us.

        Police here are also often using excessive force, especially on indigenous people, or people having a mental health crisis. Which can be intense injuries or death, and they seem immune to consequences. Thankfully our general citizens have not yet shown that level of aggression towards each other.

            Some cities have armoured vehicles but that has faced defunding, because it is a stupid waste of resources

              They paid new York cops literally $50m to stop fare dodgers because the subway was $200k down in missed fares.
