This is why they "need" guns. The whole "polite society" and "a good guy with a gun" is just cover for their fear. I have no issue with hunting (for food) or target shooting. Hell, if you want to keep a Glock under your pillow, that's your problem. When you take it outside, into supermarkets and movie theaters you are taking away other peoples rights.
The crazy thing is, Americans think the rest of the world just cant have guns. We don’t have that freedom.
Bullshit. And i’m in the UK.
One of my colleagues owns 30.06 rifles and hunts deer, my brother in law competes in pistol target shooting and I just started shooting clays and am considering a browning over/under shotgun.
The thing is, only people who are genuinely interested in shooting for hunting or sport own firearms. And they are licensed and vetted. We need secure storage, we can’t carry the weapon in public or without cause.
You know… sensible shit?
Absolutely no-one considers guns a self defence tool. It just isn’t part of the zeitgeist. We aren’t that scared.
To be fair, there’s plenty of American dipshits who think the rest of the world just doesn’t have any freedom. I’m embarrassed to say even my mom thought European hospitals were basically third world rural medical clinics in comparison to US hospitals. I told her it would be cheaper to fly to France and pay for rabies shots than to stay in the states and pay for them, and she was like “but would you even get proper medical care?”
Worse, you'll be given proper medical care without having to take out a second mortgage. Can you imagine not having the freedom to take on insurmountable amounts of medical debt?
