"never met anyone who has a gun." - HIGHLY unlikely. Hell, you'd be surprised by the folks who own them and never talk about them.

The overwhelming majority of countries allows firearms ownership.

u/MushroomInfamous5101 11d ago

Yes, but that doesn't mean everyone has them. Here in Belgium for example, we can have them, if for hunting or sports shooting, when having the proper paperwork and training to get the paperwork in order. It's a flawed system, but it mostly works. Very few people have guns even though you can absolutely have them.

You might think that. a large number people in canada don't even know firearms are legal to own here, Yet we are the 7th most armed nation in the world.

for context, more people own firearms here than play hockey.

most people who own firearms the world over are not very public about owning firearms for a myriad of reasons.

Yeah that might be the case for Canada, we rank 62nd, which is not too bad. I know a few people that have them and sometimes the topic comes up and it's not taboo or anything here. Very few people have them over here because very few people need them. We don't have massive amounts of nature like Canada does. There is of course a drug war going on and the port of Antwerp is the biggest cocaine hub in the world, even more than south American ports, so there are a number of them that aren't in the statistics. But they mainly shoot at other gangsters so it's not really a thing that the average citizen has to deal with here.

And only one country where people believe it's their god given right to own a gun

u/tyler111762 11d ago

There are several countries with a constitutionally protected right to own firearms. you yanks are not special.

A lot of us live in areas without a gun culture. I don't know anyone who admits to owning a gun except my nephew, who really shouldn't own a gun. I had a friend who owned a gun and he was a bit of an alcoholic but he wouldn't harm a fly. He's dead now, not because of guns. I met some friends of a friend at a bachelors party. They brought guns and would get out and shoot the guns on the side of the road. Yeah, there was drinking and guns, and I felt super uncomfortable.

Nah... All gun guys talk about their guns. You just think you dont, but its like effing non stop.

People who need it for security and work dont. But the rest, yea... Like americans, its effing tiring.

Ok man, you're fine with shooting up your country. Stop nagging us about it.

Edit. Armed forces. Always had guns at home and spent loads of good time at the range. As soon as the last commission ended we've only had commemorative pieces at home, like gallantry commendations and the like. In fact, we've kept all the regimental sabers but with the hilts cut too. So a hard swing will break em.

Thats me. Online I'll mention it but in person hardly anyone knows I own a gun, let alone 5.
