Honestly I think the United States needs to bring freedom to its allies sometimes more then anywhere else. Europe is a mess on a lot of levels, Firearms are just one issue I pretty sure firearms is the least messy thing over here. Mind you, I have no issues with people owning weapons for self-defence, sport or when their jobs require it. The thing that USA has to get rid of isn't guns, it's the shoot-first-ask-never mentality that makes so many people so stupidly quick to use those guns they have. Everyone has a gun, everyone assumes the other guy has a gun, so people think to prevent harm if things escalate they got to be the first to draw, so everyone is quick to draw and by the time someone's pointing a gun at someone, the safety goes off so to speak. And the police can't try to de-escalate because they also have to assume the same thing, which ends in a stupid circulatory mentality that people need guns to defend themselves from people with guns. Guns are made to kill and they do kill (so obviously people shouldn't be allowed to just own any sort of gun to make it easy to kill people if they ever feel like it, minimize the potential damage), but it's still the people that pull the trigger and it's those that need to get their asses kicked straight. Dispense some common sense. That's about as much as I feel qualified to say.
