I grew up in Rural America too. In my experience, armed people are very polite.
I don’t outsource my thinking to a machine. I was asking you to not outsource your thinking to a stranger, since I am not your private encyclopedia.
The original claim was: > in high trust societies, armed people are very polite people
In my experience, there was no connection between being armed and being polite.
> Or just visit your local gun range
Went to one many times when I lived in Texas, I think I've inhaled enough lead to last me the rest of my life.
"An armed society is a polite society" was originally said by Heinlein, who for all his faults would have had something to say about outsourcing your thinking to a machine.
