Far from making fun of Americans, I am scared for them. This crisis has already proven how irrational people can be, and rapidly we revert to basic tribalism, giving in to base instincts. Adding (even more) guns to this mix is a bad sign. But in an environment where trust in authority has been systematically destroyed, it is, a sadly understandable response.
Stay safe, and remember that most of the people you might be defending yourselves from are probably just as desperate (if not more so) than you.
