What other user stated before it's quite true, I mean, some of us certainly can't understand the need to own a gun, therefore people from the US shoud be the ones pushing for this debate.

However, I do find the political scene quite fucked up, I see that there will be no proper debate if the lobbyist have that power to shut up pretty much everybody.

Additionally, I do find funny the argument of certain people here, so, the US is a safe place to live as long as you have a gun to protect your property and your loved ones. Wtf, isn't the police there rather competent, or what?

It's not that law enforcement is incompetent (which all is worldwide to a degree), but you have too many people, far too spread out to effectively protect and serve. People want to have the ability to defend themselves against those who would hurt them. That doesn't mean you live in fear (I know I have never feared for my safety even in rougher areas), but it can be seen an insurance that if someone bad were to come, you could defend yourself.
