why?
okay, I understand that your country was formed under violent speration from the English rule. And that the US expaned to the west also with violence.
So I can understand that violence has been part of the american culture...
However, the US are not the only country that made itself independant by the means of violence, but they one of the most prominent gun-lovers in the world.
That's what I was trying to understand. The whole cultural-historical arugment is becoming less valid.
Anyhow, why do I have to open my eyes if I think that less guns is more safety?
Isn't that logic? Here in Europe the home defence with guns are a vast majority, so are we all blind and stupid here?...

The US is one of the best places to live for many reasons, and yes we have some serious problems but letting home owners own self defense firearms is NOT one of them. Unfortuately these laws make guns accessable on the street for felons gets their hands on also, a chance we take I guess ?
I'd much rather live in a country that allows folks to owns firearms than live in a country that does not and have to defend my homestead and family with a stick or throwing a sheep at a burgler ? Thats Horseshit, I'm gonna blast the the theiving asshole that dares to step foot in MY HOUSE. And inspite of a privious post mentioning some don't have the testicular fortitude to hold a gun on someone or take life. I've done it(He didn't die but is a vegetable), and I'll do it again gladly, My conscious is crystal clear.

So, you are in favor of private gun ownership, but more regulated and bound to strict (safety) rules (like in Europe) and against easy acces to get any gun for private use?
