Maybe it's because I live in a country where I am not afraid of the government and see the state of the US Vs. countries here in Europe where having a firearm is prohibited; I just don't get it. It feels the same like telling a 3 year old it's not allowed to handle a chefs knife on their own, but it gets mad because dad said it was OK, it will get mad if you take it way because someone said it was OK before, even though it's not the smart thing to do or in the best interest of the child.
- hga 10y agoMy god, according to your website and whois info, you're in the Netherlands. As I relate in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12425485 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12425485 in living memory, invaders have used your country's gun registration list to confiscate all the people's firearms, with public execution of whole families as a penalty for not producing a gun on the list. Oh, and owning a firearm in Europe is most certainly not prohibited, and that's not counting Switzerland, although the reported figures for the Netherlands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_guns_per_capita_by_country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_guns_per_c... look close to a total de jure prohibition. I guess the post-WWII ruling class was satisfied with what the Nazis wrought on its people; you certainly are....
