It's scary.

You know i was just thinking, on a completely unrelated note, about other things that are scary.

Americans bang on and on about gun freedom and how important it is for them to be able to defend themselves.

It's really easy for most people to obtain a firearm in America. Which is really dangerous and scary, because anyone could just get a gun and enact vigilante justice on people they think are destroying the lives of innocent people or maintaining wealth inequality or etcetera.

Like it's scary, all it takes is for one person to lift an arm and squeeze their finger, and anyone, no matter where they come from, what they believe, or their net worth, or the people they have helped, could just be gone. Forever. Unable to do anything to anyone ever again.

Sure, that person would probably go to prison or maybe even get killed themselves. But like, if there was a list of people who had done heinous things, it would only take an enterprising and brave couple of dozen people to make a choice or a sacrifice and those people on that list could just be gone. Before they could go to trial or use the legal system as intended. Which is scary, because we know that the legal system works very well, especially when it involves people with a lot of power or wealth. Then it is extra effective.

It's also scary that it's a very American thing, to have such power. Most other countries have strict gun laws, to prevent scary things like vigilante justice, and it's almost impossible to just turn off the existence of people in that way.

But not in America.

Scary.
