Shootings in the US

In Europe silencers are legal and if someone is afraid for their or their family member’s life they might be able to make it look like nothing ever happened, especially if they live in a rural area, and I would imagine that most gun owners over there live rurally. Makes certain crimes less likely to happen in those areas at least for that reason. Even if I were desperate or crazy enough to rob someone’s house I wouldn’t dream of doing it in a place where people have more guns – I’d seek out where you lived and I’d go fuck your shit up instead. If you don’t see that there’s a chance of having gun ownership reducing crime by acting as a deterrent then you have some kind of a phobia of guns. So the problem is with you – not with the book and not with my logic.

No, people do not kill burglars with silenced weapons and hide their bodies in those countries. That’s absurd.

Also, like I’ve been trying to say. The statistics regarding Finland and Switzerland are misleading.
In Finland a shit ton of the weapons are relics from the wars which aren’t even active anymore, and you must have a gun license to get access to OC spray and other self defense weaponry, so a large portion of people with a gun license don’t even have guns.

Also, as almost all of the people who own weapons are hunters, usually their family members have gun licenses too. What this basically means is that the chance of breaking into someones house and them actually owning firearms is small and there actually aren’t many guns in Finland, it’s a misleading stat. Finland is a pretty average European country in reality when it comes to weapons per 100 people. Again, you get thrown into jail if you use them for other purposes than hunting or hobbies. The gun laws are really fucking strict and continue to get stricter, and thankfully so. Countries like Sweden, France, Austria etc. have more guns and less strict gun laws, and have higher crime rates.

And to answer both you and the crazy cowboy, I’m not scared of guns per se, I’ve handled many different firearms in the military, but I don’t want crazy rednecks or thugs to have easy access to firearms in certain European countries as they are better off without them. I don’t want them to turn into a bloody warzone.

I bet he’s not afraid or is less afraid of knives and knives hurt a hell of a lot more and kill people slowly. Blades were originally invented to slaughter animals and for self-defense. An item is only as good as that for which it is used and has no value or agency outside its use.

Umm, because in normal countries, as far as I know, it’s not usual to kill people and hide their bodies unless you’re a psycho?
I highly doubt a normal hard working family father could just kill somebody, get rid of the body amd live their normal life. Also, the relatives of the dead burglar would notice he’s gone missing and that would become a bigger investigation. If the man who shot the burglar gets caught he’s going to jail. In short, you shoot someone, you go to jail unless you have a really fucking solid excuse like an immediate life threat. A guy stealing your TV isn’t enough.

Unfortunately I can’t answer that question, but I wasn’t talking about America now. My point was the author did lazy research and is lying when he used Finland and Switzerland as examples of countries where more firearms = less crime, when it’s actually the opposite in those countries.

Same laws and rules don’t apply to every country.

They are Democrats – all they do is give attention to the mentally ill because they relate to them the most.

The easiest thing is to create and exacerbate mental illness, put crazy thoughts in their heads and tell them what they want, and then ask them “what do you want – we’ll give you everything you want.”
