Guns are more likely to kill or injure in an accident or get stolen and used by criminals. Europeans enjoy more security and face less criminality and
they have banned firearms.
Just to straiten this one out. That's due to different cultures, when we had guns in the UK legally it wasn't a big problem. We had the occasional
shooting, but it was very rare. Why americans shoot each otehr so much i don't know but here in the UK is really wasn't that bad when we had guns.
Watch out you american people, the way it started in the UK was draconian gun controls. After that is just required a bad incident (with a man who was
mentally unstable and shouldn't have had a gun), and the ban came to pass pretty damn easily.
A populous unable to defend itself will inevitably be subject to the whims of it's government.
