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. ❤️

    Gun-related violence is going up because all violent crime is going up. Most Dutchies still underestimate how much of an influence organized crime has become, almost all of it narcotics related.

    That said, due to strict gun laws most violent crime happens with knifes, and worryingly increasingly with explosives.

      Apparently a 6% increase in crime in 2022 it seems. I suppose violent crime would have increased as well.

      As for knives and explosives, that’s bad enough for me an I’m quite content to not add more firearms to that mix as.
