There’s one sentence in particular about the horrific battlefield rifle massacre in Cleveland, Texas, that must seem absolutely insane to folks in civilized countries.
People in their rural town north of Houston are used to people firing their weapons to blow off steam…

That’s a thing here in the U.S.A. If you’re feeling a little angry or frustrated, you just grab your battlefield rifle and fire off rounds in your residential neighborhood. Don’t worry; blow-off-steam bullets don’t ever hit anything.
That’s why, in addition to it being a poors neighborhood and immigrant victims, the police reaction was so slow. “A guy with an AR-15? You’ll need to give us more. He’s firing it in his yard? Yeah, go on. At night, sure. But he’s in his own yard? Well, ma’am, you need to explain how there’s a crime being committed. All you’re telling me is there’s a good guy with a gun blowing off steam. Oh, sure, we’ll have someone stop by…”
Oh, don’t worry, ammosexuals. We’re still not going to do anything about it. We all love living in the country where you could be massacred by a battlefield rifle at any time in any place, the mere possession and display of battlefield rifles in public is an uninfringeable right, even firing them in public is given a blind eye, and nobody can tell which of those well-regulated militia members is an evil psychopath until they start firing them at you. I mean, we must, right?
