Huh... I never thought that such a mix of formats could be possible - kudos for the interesting idea!
I'm not american, I currently live in the UK where we have pretty much no guns and pistols are just outright banned - there are barely any firearm deaths in this country. But we have a massive knife crime problem and the law-abiding citizens are essentially disarmed - it is illegal to carry ANYTHING for self-defense. I call it a jungle law, survival of the fittest. While the US makes it too easy to acquire firearms - the UK completely disarming everyone but the baddies is absolutely wrong too. Statistically New York is now safer than London - and I certainly felt that way when I visited NYC in 2017. Crazy world we live in, eh?
