    What? You think criminals don’t have guns in yours?

    By the way, a country can’t believe anything, it’s an artificial concept on a map.

      Unironically yes. Out of 1000 crime news I hear about here, maybe one of them is about gun violence. Also I have never ever heard about mass killings here like USA seems to have every week.

          Lol is it really that hard for you to believe? I am not just talking about media channels, also just word around the block, multiple YouTube channels and such.

            Not that hard. I’d say organized crime will have guns regardless. Usual hooligans will do with many things one can imagine.

              Yes and those organised crimes are almost non existant and not even close to the violence in US.

      That’s what I think. That’s what I observed (anecdotally) and what statistics show. When the sentence for having a gun is higher than robbery or drug dealing or whatever, even criminals avoid that shit.

      Why would you think criminals DO have guns in other countries?

        You can be anti-guns but he is still right. Criminals do have weapons where I live, even though it’s illegal. Fortunately, we don’t have many criminals since the country is rich

        That’s a weird answer, I didn’t say that obtuseness\pedantry can believe in something.

        You made nobody fail, accusing someone of these traits just means their correctness is socially unpleasant for you.
