Funny that America is the only nation that blathers on about guns in this manner. Citizens of the Netherlands, Iceland, Switzerland, these people feel a very strong sense of freedom in their societies without a doubt, and somehow they don't view the exclusion of deadly weaponry from their daily lives as some sort of denial of freedom.
Well, actually, Switzerland is ranked quite high when it comes to private gun ownership, having about 420.000 assault rifles (converted to semi-automatic), 320.000 other semi-automatics and several hunderd thousand semi-automatic "carbines" in circulation. The estimates of total guns owned by private people is estimated between 1.2 and 3 million. Considering there are about 8 million people there, that is a lot of guns.
Yet strangely, they don't kill each other in mass shootings over there. Why Americans do kill each other in such a fashion, I have no idea.
