in Europe, having guns widely dispersed throughout society...
In Europe a number of countries has and has had guns widely dispersed throughout society since forever. A number of those countries are - and have used to be - very peaceful.
Source: Grew up in Europe. Could disassemble an assault rifle since I was a teenager (my father was assigned one as part of extended draft and kept that and a number of rounds at home. At some point he showed me since I was interested. He also used the opportunity to tell me how grateful I should be for peace and how he hoped he would never have to use it for real).
- dreamfactory2 10y agoGun ownership and gun deaths are minimal in Europe compared to the US. There's simply no valid debate to be had on this

I think you are moving the goal posts.
- dreamfactory2 10y ago> widely dispersed I assumed it was obvious I was referring to quantity of guns in a society rather how far apart these guns were actually placed.
- reitanqild 10y agoOK, I guess you misunderstood, I was pointing out that there is actually a large quantity of guns on private hands around Europe.
