I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?
Not looking for a debate here, discuss cold drinks vs hot drinks instead. Appreciate either answer. ❤️
It’s not necessarily that much stricter in Europe. It’s just guns for self-defense, isn’t a thing.
Their are guns everywhere, and everyone who needs a gun has one.
It just stops the random fuckers getting their hands on one for no good reason. Also, automatic weapons are for killing humans. Why even sell those.
You really can’t generalize for Europe. Countries here differ vastly both in regards to laws and gun ownership rates.

USA: No permit required for semi-automatic long guns and hand guns
Europe: Allowed with permit – good reason (like sport shooting license or proving danger to life required)
So what you say is bullshit.
Not really, it is a thing in Switzerland and Czechia for example.
And even outside of that, not every country has laws as strict as Germany or UK.
No, with very rare exceptions, carrying for self-defense is not allowed in Switzerland.
I believe they are the only 2 countries, so I feel my generalisation is acceptable.
Actually no. Self-defense + concealed carry is allowed in Baltic states as well and home defense (=no concealed carry) is also allowed in Italy and Austria.
