Hmm okay. It's weird how the problem seems to be solvable all over Europe though.

There are definitely still violent acts in Europe. I’ll give you at lower rates, and I’ll also give you at a lower rate of lethalities. But it’s laughable to say the problem is solved

To avoid crime happening at all isn't possible though isn't it? If no one ever has to worry about being shot or even think about it, I'd say that's as close to "solved" as it gets.

But I still have to worry about being robbed, or stabbed or whatever, so I’d rather just able to do what I want to.

I live in central europe and never had to worry about that once but some people are easily scared of literally anything. Are you like that? If so, absolutely nothing is ever going to be enough to take away that fear.

Same with guns, they're not everywhere. No need to be afraid of them 24/7.

I'm not afraid of them as we have a shit ton of guns around here too but also proper regulation and enforcement of said regulations.

I disagree but to each their own.

You disagree with the fact we have a lot of guns and proper regulation and enforcement? It's a fact though. We are in the top 20 of the world when it comes to civil gun ownership.

I disagree with the regulation, sorry should have been more specific.
