Guns skittering across the dash like m&ms looking for the air vent

No joke, heard a story of a guy that had a gun stolen from is car. Lamenting it because it was a expensive piece with modifications to is appearance that he liked. When asked what happened, he left it on the fucking dashboard in plain view. Didn't even attempt to hide it at the least. Just out there for all to see. I like firearms as a preface, I think they're neat and do serve some purposes but, the careless and frivolous nature of how we consider them in the USA is one of the reasons gun violence is so high.

On the bright side, if your car ever gets stolen, cops will be really invested in finding it if you tell them your gun was under the seat. Cops generally don’t care about stolen vehicles. They tend to take an “eh, it’s probably already in a chop shop” approach. But if you tell them your gun was in the car, they’re suddenly a lot more invested in finding it.

Of course, because they can recover the vehicle and say they didn't find any firearms as they take them for themselves.

A lot the world does, however, have to live with the constant threat of being bombed by our military or a military that our taxes fund.

Almost like the violence we export to other countries comes back home to our own culture and society.

Neither do most Americans. Or most Chicagoans.

Chicago has their own website with a mocking view of death stats…
