Well, this is one way to rationalize crime in society

Of course I don't want to live in North Korea. But I don't like violent crimes and mass shootings in America either. I mean, I am not sure what kind of freedom I may lose if the governament manages to make this country a bit safer. I will defintely consider it. Think about it: fifty thousands people die because of gun related crime alone. We are talking about fifty thousand people. Two weeks ago, a plane crashed in Washington DC. There were only less than one hundred fataliies. Is fifty thousand deaths acceptable or people in country become numb about it?
