I know, but without the UK we are helpless against the leftists. Poland and Hungary can't possibly balance what Germany does together with Benelux and France. My God...

Curious, but what country do you live in?


Also, I find it disappointing how many European nations are against guns. Never thought people would have such a big issue with protecting themselves. I wonder if crime and rape rates would decrease if guns were more tolerable in Europe.

Europe as a whole has much lower crime rates then US though.

Seeing that crime rate overall is half of the US and rape rates are a third of the US in germany and france alone, so rates lowering with the introduction of guns is doubtful. Scandinavia and Spain have even better rates.

The easy answer is: People feel safe on the streets without guns. There's no need to 'protect themselves' in their perception.
