Same could be said for self-defense, though it is effectively banned in most "civilized" countries.

- lupire 2y agoI don't no which countries you're referring to, but the US is not one of them.
- vkou 2y agoSelf-defense isn't banned anywhere, the kind of 'self-defense' murder that some people in the US occasionally get away with is, though. (For example, if your idea of self-defense starts with 'I'll be following someone around in my truck...', most other countries would let you hang.)
- blacklion 2y agoI've said "most", not "all". In most EU countries you cannot use "more offensive" force than robber/raper uses. And you cannot use firearms in any case. It is bizarre concept for me: I need to fight with bare hands better than robber, as I cannot use knife if robber doesn't have a knife. Same for knife-to-knife fight, as firearm is no-no in any case. I'm not as young and agile as typical robber, and I cannot have any "technical" advantage over him. If it is question of your personal belongings you better give everything and report to insurance company (as if any belongings could be replaced with their price!) Again, I don't say it is in every EU country, but EU bureaucrats try to force more "liberal" countries (as Czech or Bulgaria) to adopt "common" (very strict) rules.
