Absolute bullshit. I lived in Iceland for 4 years and still have a place there, and hundreds of Icelandic friends. Not once have I ever heard about anybody carrying a gun - unless out hunting.
- fleitz 10y agoIt's similar in Canada lots of people have guns, we use them for hunting, not carrying around.
- vidarh 10y agoSame in Norway - the number of guns per capita is very high. But they're mostly hunting rifles, and they're generally (or you'll be breaking the law) locked down and inoperable except when people are actually out hunting.
- nraynaud 10y agoyes, be very weary of gun statistics, they tend to lump together hunting rifles and human killing devices. Given that many hunters are after small mammals and birds, many of those rifles are not really practical for criminality.
