Pointing to media reports as evidence sorta proves the point accidentally.

There's a world of difference between avoiding sleeping in a household you know for a fact is occupied by an armed paranoid steeped in fear of the bogeyman vs. arming yourself out of fear of the bogeyman.

One threat is very real, the other is largely nonexistant but portrayed by the media as a growing omnipresent danger.
