I didn't say you had.

I mean, you realize we come from hugely different cultures, right? Where I'm from, people don't use swords. You can't have any kind of weapon in most buildings and public outdoor areas, and you need a special license to carry a hidden weapon. I'd say guns are probably equivalent, but you need a special license just to buy one.

Violence isn't supposed to be a normal part of life back home.

It is, but it isn't supposed to be.
