<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"></div>Jochen - I'm sorry that you feel as unsafe as you say about guns in the USA. My own feeling, based on living in the States from birth until age 49 (13 years ago), is that the danger and direct impact on society from firearms is much exaggerated by the news media. Like so many issues of our time, our two-party winner-take-all system of elections has made guns a political football. The same goes for the perception of how police officers respond to citizens, including motorists, that they deal with. My own experience has been that police in the USA are courteous and respectful. Of course, I'm. a white guy who grew up with a respect for the police, so others' experiences may differ. The USA certainly has its share of problems, but it's still a pretty darned nice place to live and visit.<div><div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr"><br></div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Oct 22, 2021 at 12:38 PM Jochen Fromm <<a href="mailto:jofr@cas-group.net">jofr@cas-group.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto">No, we were wondering about a vacation in the US next year, but I do not feel safe because of this gun problem.
