its not just europe... its a pretty global phenomenon. you might have some nice philosophical argument here, but i have data and experiments on my side. i do appreciate your point about self defence in a harsh environment, but that is not day-to-day life in a world with gun control, or even in most places without it. i however resent the implication that i can not defend myself and am merely going to write an angry letter in complaint. i can assure you that i am just as capable as the next man of dealing death, even without guns, but its a skill i'd rather not exercise...
