I'm blessed that people don't even litter and they pick up their dog poop! Part of that's law and a big part of it's the culture of caring.

You can look up your county here for stats on how many aircraft, grenade launchers, assault rifles, and armored personnel vehicles were acquired:

How? beevul Sep 2014 #42

How does asking consumers to let corporations know thucythucy Sep 2014 #36

nanny state. sometimes the handle fits the crime. NYC_SKP Sep 2014 #37
