Gun Control III - the Gunnening

[East Ustya]

How does that relate to a lethal weapon?

That we often accept that certain risks when it comes to keeping ourselves safe, even if the things we’re protecting ourselves from are relatively rare.

I would say less guns=less danger.

You’d be wrong. Defensive gun usage (DGU) saves many lives in the US annually.

Ehh, how?

And how would that help MY country?

[The Kingdom of Lyrica]

How does it not work? Do guns magically not function in other countries?

No, I am just saying that it is a different situation where I live.

We do not have widespread gun ownership, or a gun culture.

May I ask which country?

Less a lot of things would equal less danger. Less cars, less trains, less airplanes, less bicycles, less people walking, less candy, less steak, less peanut butter, less bath tubs, less swimming pools, the list goes on ad astra.

The Netherlands.

Because contrary to your apparent belief. Your countrymen are not categorically different from mine.

I mean, better to have that than the near certainly fatal case of flying out the front window.

[Ors Might]

Ehh, how?

And how would that help MY country?

You see, when you see someone brandish a gun, you are less likely to want to fuck with them. Street thugs and home invaders are rarely exempt from this fact of life.

Do people in your country not experience violence?

Exactly my point

Ehh, we do not have that many shootings.

Do people in your country not experience violence?

Not that often, no.

Armed crime in Europe is extremely rare.

Not that often, no.

So they do experience violence. Do your violent countrymen know no fear?

[East Ustya]

Not that often, no.

So they do experience violence. Do your violent countrymen know no fear?

Not enough to arm ourselves with guns.

“Armed” meaning what? Does that refer to firearms or to weapons in general?

[Chernoslavia]

Do people in your country not experience violence?

Armed crime in Europe is extremely rare.

And many countries in Europe aren't actually as restrictive on guns as people think. Also Europe =/= USA

[Ors Might]

So they do experience violence. Do your violent countrymen know no fear?

Not enough to arm ourselves with guns.

What’s the threshold for that?

Armed anything is extremely rare...

If a country banned cars, car accidents would likely drop.

[East Ustya]

Not enough to arm ourselves with guns.

What’s the threshold for that?

No idea, I just know that most ppl here do not want ppl to own guns.

[The Kingdom of Lyrica]

May I ask which country?

The Netherlands.

The Netherlands still has shootings, 527 incidents in 2018. About 1.5 a day
In 2019 the Netherlands had 1 mass shooting, far deadlier than the average America mass shooting.

[Ors Might]

What’s the threshold for that?

No idea, I just know that most ppl here do not want ppl to own guns.

And that’s a good enough reason for them to not have the ability to? Majority opinion has historically been a shit method of determining what should be in place.

[East Ustya]

The Netherlands.

The Netherlands still has shootings, 527 incidents in 2018. About 1.5 a day
In 2019 the Netherlands had 1 mass shooting, far deadlier than the average America mass shooting.

Which one are you talking about?

Armed crime in Europe is extremely rare.

But crime is much higher. Knife crime in the UK for example dwarfs US gun crime.
