So if the authorites in a country where personal firearms are either prohibited or heavily restricted received a call that a young kid was brandishing one in public and appeared to be pointing it and waving it around at others in a threatening manner, they wouldn't have taken the report as seriously as officers in the US do?

You would think that authorities in other countries with restricted gun ownership would view it as an even bigger threat because the youth in question must've been up to some serious criminal activity if he was able to get his hands on a gun in the first place in one of those countries.

No, but I'd imagine that the initial response would be a tad less aggressive.  That is, of course, an opinion (nothing I've fully researched or anything),  But, it'd make sense, don't you think?
