@xyfdi@gameliberty.club @freemo except in the EU the criminals in question are rare and mostly literal mafia members, while in the US a random hobo can rob you at gunpoint. It's not exactly the same caliber of a problem.

@Amikke @xyfdi @freemo He didn't tell the story right. Since, in the EU, citizens don't have guns, the criminals don't need guns to victimize EU citizens. So, it's true, EU doesn't have a gun problem. They have a knife problem. They have an acid being thrown problem (not even a thing in the US). They have a violent assault problem. And they have a violent crime problem.

In the US, the "gun problem" is limited to one city gangs killing each other with guns the aren't allowed to have anyway. Get out of the urban shitholes and gun crimes are rare. However, guns prevent 500,000 to 2,000,000 crimes every year, many of those would have been violent crimes.

So, it's a trade off. And it's a good trade. Yes. More dead gang niggers from drive bys and drug deals gone wrong, but hundreds of thousands to millions less victims of crime every year.

@FreeinTX mostly agree, the system I like most is the Swiss system of people having guns but not being retarded due to a working education system and economy.

@Amikke
Id be ok with that too so long as they are allowed to keep the guns in their home and use it for selfdefense.
