Which Number s, sadly, are missing, are those of Switzerland and Finland. I find it really interesting, because in Switzerland, every man mandatory serves in the Army, and then takes his full-automatic gun and ammunition home with himself. In Finland a lot of people have guns. Just because of animals in far away Areas. Best comparison would be the numbers for Israel. Very low, even though every man and woman who currently serves always carries his or her Service rifle. All numbers are massively lower than in the US. For me, that shows that not Guns are the Problem. It's the people carrying them.
- JonRB 10y agoWhat isn't necessarily considered here is that (In Switzerland, at least) many people don't actually have a loaded gun - Some places will offer to keep your gun, ammunition or both in another location, which saves you having to secure them &c. On top of that, everybody is necessarily trained to use said guns and by extension trained to be responsible with them. That said, I agree completely that the problem is not necessarily the presence of guns.
