TF I never said the US SHOULD disarm I said its hypocritical for A to have nukes and to have used them whilst objecting to B having the same. So if US peace is maintained by nukes you cannot object to other countries wanting exactly the same.
I agree about gun ownership however in the US over 30,000 people are shot each year, including armed citizens and cops, so we have more rapes but far less shootings.
Three SK is a poor ally they have already said that if NK attacks US assets they wont allow US shore based assets attack NK
FYI The US sits with Sweden and Finland ALL three armed as well as the UK disarmed as having the highest rape figures in the world

Rape And Sexual Assault Among College-Age: An average (65,668+ & 2,866+) college-age women and men experienced a rape sexual assault annually. More than a quarter of college-age women report having experienced a rape or rape attempt since age 14. Out of all, only 16% of the total cases are reported. Females ages 18 to 24 had higher rates of rape and sexual assault than females in other age groups. Rate of rape crime is 1.2 times higher for nonstudents than students. Female students were more likely to experience rape or sexual assault victimization away from home, while nonstudents were more likely to be at home. Among females living in rural areas, the rate of rape and sexual assault victimization was almost 2 times higher for non-students. (
