Weirdly enough I told them (for some stupid reason) that I didn't believe they would end a person's life over it. They said no, but they would shoot my kneecaps out. That I *did* believe.
Part of me wants to move back to my home country where guns are illegal to own.
however if you look up the crimes in the US most gun-related crimes are self-inflicted vs attacks on others.
seriously, over half really.
granted i understand being scared now. it's just a sore point here because some people are trying to take away our legal rights because they disagree with them.
Well, for every 100,000 people living in Denmark, the WORST it's ever been when it comes to gun-related homicides (murder with guns) there was 1.5 deaths per year.
In the USA, for every 100,000 people living there, when it comes to gun-related homicides (not self-inflicted or anything like that) the worst it's been is 7 deaths per year.
People are trying to take away your legal rights because you live in a democracy, which gives the people the power to try and change their country for what they believe to be the better.
except that some of our rights are guaranteed by our constitution.
we already had one victory just yesterday when a supreme court judge ruled that a state cannot require legal gun owners to provide a reason why they want to own guns.
"A citizen may not be required to offer a 'good and substantial reason' why he should be permitted to exercise his rights," Legg wrote. "The right's existence is all the reason he needs."
IIN to be extremely horny all the time after having been raped?

as a legal gun-owner i understand the feelings but... "illegal to own" doesn't mean anything to criminals.
that's why countries that forbid guns to their citizens still have gun crimes.

Look up the numbers on gun-related crimes in Denmark over the past year. Heck, the past 10 years.
Not to bash your right to own a gun, just saying - raw data doesn't lie.
This isn't very complete, but just to give you an idea:

So they don't have to tell the guy selling it they're going to point it at a girl's face and tell her to shut up while they rape her
