Every tenth adult in Czechia carries a gun. Last time I checked, Czechia was safer than UK.

  Nope on the first part. 8M adults, 300k gun permits. And that's including almost 100k active police/military. As for the latter part, maybe, but there is way more guns in US than in CZ. And last time I checked.. Let's say I don't think there is any correlation between the two statements.

    You're right about the stats, the news article I was referring to was wrong. It's not including police/military service permits though, the 300k is purely private permits (which can have overlap with police/military - they can't use guns for private purposes without a private permit); and there are 900k private guns.

    > 8M adults, 300k gun permits. This assumes that everyone carrying a gun has a permit to do so.
