The EU has its wars as well, though it's more peaceful than the US.
But what do you call an elite? The military? The police? Because in that case, I can't see much difference with the EU's gun policies. And it works, as long as you live under a democratic regime.
If by elite you meant an ethnic or socioeconomical group, then yes, I have to agree on that. I reacted because Keeping_up_with_da_kids calls that sort of stuff 'gun control'. And of course, that's not what people mean when they use that term.
This example may seem a little blunt, but I think that the US government is way more oppressive than the EU. And the US doesn't have any gun control. 'Gun freedom' is no guarantee for democracy, nor is it necessary.
What's your opinion on gun control?
