    I kinda hate to be this guy, but:

    Know this does not exist in any other country

    It is unnecessary in any other country

    America has entirely constructed its own hell by simply not applying the same appropriate gun control you see in every other developed nation in the world

    Edit: and I know you probably agree with me, but goddamn you’ve just collectively proven as a nation that over half your countrymen will bazooka their feet and the feet of everyone unfortunate enough to be near them, before even contemplating the idea of supporting someone who promises to make their lives better!

      100%

      It’s a response to an entirely self-inflicted problem.

      This is blatantly false. I don’t like it, but it most certainly happens at other countries and not just a US phenomenon. I’ll paste some proof: https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/sports/brazil-police-sniper-nearly-shot-officer-during-world-cup-opening-1.1889183? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9692301/Greenpeace-apologise-Euro-2020-stunt-horror-left-two-injured.html https://sports.ndtv.com/euro-2020/snipers-were-ready-to-shoot-parachutist-at-euro-2020-match-minister-2465542/amp/1 https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/feb/01/france-biggest-security-operation-six-nations-stade-italy

      Also, this isn’t even how they do it. It was an ad for the tripod basically, and it wasn’t loaded. They use binoculars and not the rifle for scanning. https://deadspin.com/those-super-bowl-sniper-photos-are-real-5883525/

      Hate to be that guy but also hate misinformation so had to chime in.

        That is more along the lines of high government official protection at special events they attend in other countries though, not a standard practice at normal sports games.

      Every single big event all over the world has the potential to be a target for a terrorist attack.
