They used to say the US had crazy laws, eveyone sued everyone else, it's not like that, and never has been, this country is by far the worse.
Not as simple as that. All the States have there own law on the subject. Like some have the death penalty and some don't.

Having travelled for 5 months, about 15,000 miles in USA, about 20 States, in a Motor-home, carrying a revolver, I was aware how very different the laws in one State are compared with another, as I was asking about the gun laws when I entered each State. In some sates Texas for example, you shoot dead a person for stealing someone else's hub caps. But Texas is extreme!
