- lutorm 7y ago* America puts more value on the protection of the individual from society than the protection of society from an individual.* That's not true, though. U.S. laws and their enforcement are extremely punitive compared to most other western countries. It seems the values are very specifically centered around the right to own guns, not around protecting individuals from society in general.
