    I saw a clip years ago of a car or bike backfiring. People were panicing like it was gun fire. Even though NYC and The Grand Canyon look amazing, I would hate to visit an me on edge whether a shooting will occur or not.

      I looked up shooting stats last year, specifically I compared USA shootings and deaths to Canada. It’s an amazing difference even after adjusting for the population difference. What I found odd when Trump got shot was the crowd behind him didn’t dive for cover, some of the fools stood up and looked around.
