I live in a country were owning a gun is not allowed, even possesion of an airsoftgun is strictly forbidden.
Our capital city Amsterdam (also known to be the drugs capitalcity of the world by most Americans

and most of the time in foreign press mentioned as one of the most dangerous city's in the world) was in the news earlier this week, so far this year there were 4 gun related homicides there.
Now how many american citys have a record like that?
So the argument that only criminals and the gouverment have guns and that the civilians are in danger is bs.
sure most big (organized crime) criminals have guns, but they only use it to kill each other and nobody really cares about that.
If you want to live in a society where everybody carry guns just because they are afraid that the other will use them on you be my guest, I am very happy I live in a country with strict gun rules, I don't need a gun and I don't feel threatened

And I also do not feel the need to go hunting with a full automatic etc.
(is very hard to do here anyway since we have the highest population per square mile in the world (and still don't feel the need to shoot eachother

)so what there is no room to hunt anyway)
