I think there are different reasons:
- Mandatory military service makes people know how to use guns
- People have mandatory health insurance and social security, means there is no need to shoot people for money
- Less racist police, means minorities dont solve problems by themselves with violence
- high minimum wage, so nobody has to starve
- Gun owners do not use guns to defend against burglars, so burglars also dont have to use guns
- Proper handling of drug addiction (including addicts)
- better mental health because of mandatory holidays, parental leaves, and a lot of chocolate
- Prostitution is legal, so no pimping
- Mediterraneo10 6y ago> People have mandatory health insurance and social security, means there is no need to shoot people for money Even European countries with a decent social safety net still have some drug addicts (mainly heroin) who are desperate for money to buy that expensive drug and will engage in petty crime to do so, e.g. pickpocketing, mugging, bicycle theft, theft of copper wiring, etc. (And yes, some states provide assistive infrastructure for addicts, but there are still demographics that avoid it and continue their addict to street drugs.) The fact that there is almost no shooting going on has more to do with legal and/or cultural pressures on guns than the existence of a welfare state making life OK for everyone.
- dobin 6y agoThere are few legal restrictions to buy a gun here. Fill out a form, send it to the police, they mail you the license, go buy some AK's. Petty crime yes, mostly bicycle theft, and some mugging
