ok, idk where you live either, but I think we've got the reverse correlation in the world: those places in the world where people are likely to be caring guns are far less likely to have successful public transport systems, and the few they do have tend to be disproportionately used by the poor and destitute. the other obvious problem would be, presumably, that if it's genuine 'crazyness' that you're concerned with, as opposed to anti-social behaviour or drugs that tend to accompany the lack of social capital and safety nets in the US, then a gun wouldn't actually be a disincentive. on the other hand, I'm surprised how people don't vote road rage or idiots behind the wheel as arguments against car driving. For a tragically relevant example of genuine crazy behind the wheel: see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_2017_Melbourne_car_attack https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_2017_Melbourne_car_a... obviously then you've also got the downside of living in the area with guns. see gun death, murder, and car death/injury stats in US vs elsewhere, for example. disclaimer: I live in the green areas mentioned in article, don't own a car.
