Do you think it is normal having firearms?

The idea that it is so easy for a person in your community to reach a limit of that nature makes me very concerned for completely different issues in your community than gun ownership.

 

Well, my community/country hasn't got the issue of large number of murders. Infact, even bare handed brawls are very rare here. In the first post i saw how you wanted to spin this around. Besides, certain amount of people do own a firearm here(some illegaly, some trough hardly acquired license). The rate of illegal weapon possesion isn't even that small, because of the war we went trought some 15 years ago.

Still, there aren't many firearm murders here. Something in the lines of 15-30 per year (whole country). That said, i would like to conclude that those who have illegal/legal possesion of firearms here know how to (not) use em. But i don't think that it would be wise to give the ability of weapon possesion to the whole community.

So your argument fails in multiple ways.

What you just stated should make the issue completely obvious for anyone and everyone. YOU'RE community isn't in the state that most in the USA are in at the moment. They're are a lot of bare-handed brawls, rapes, racial crimes, robberies, etc. that have nothing to do with firearms whatsoever. These crimes happen on a regular basis and without guns.  What does this tell you?  The alarming issue is that our country has a staggering amount of crimes that happen all the time (gun or not).  Our society has a problem (most obviously so when compared to others), but it has nothing to do with firearms.
