Guns in other Countries

[Exonautic]

Background: my girlfriend is a citizen of Poland as well as the united states(dual) and goes to school there for free. Most of her family is still in Poland.

So she sends me a link today of her cousin's(~20yrs) facebook page. He must have gone on some tour or museum thing, because they were handling some modern as well as antique firearms. From what i can tell they were all operable, flags were in place from chamber to muzzle on some of the long guns. Well he posted multiple pictures of him and his friends pointing them at each-other like they were in an old west stand-off, as well as dual-wielding an AR and an AK. He's not the brightest kid to begin with, but i think my head would explode had i been in the same room as them. And yes, his finger and the trigger were becoming good friends.

Kind of shows the difference of cultures when someone has no idea how to use or operate a firearm, nor what it can do.

Also a lack of training and expierence. He’s prob one of those people that haven’t had a lot of time with one, so they all just think that since they aren’t loaded, they can point them at each other and use them like toys. It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye

I did feel a bit more comfortable with her going there when she told me they refuse refugees and the like.

As crazy as it sounds... Poland might be Europe's last best chance to save itself.

Poland has had a major populist, right leaning, anti Islam/migrant, anti communisy, pro nationalist pro freedom, pro Christianity movement recently. Its not all that different from here

Hm, didn't know much about their political scene actually. I've been there once. I could definitely see the pro christian stuff there.

In France they are deathly afraid of guns. They all come here and they are mostly fascinated with them so I take them shooting. Then they all seem to come around a bit. There government tells them they are bad from birth. They credit no guns in WWII with saving their lives. If they had guns the Germans would have killed more of them. Instead they just occupied there country, forced them to makes arms, and raped the women.

In France they are deathly afraid of guns. .

When i worked in europe, i met many many many french, begium, and english citizens that owned and used guns. (Even met some gun owners in norway)

While you atatement could be sued to describe the masses (and the same could be said of people here too.....if you asked about guns in major cities) it is not indicative of the entire country.

Across the Atlantic, despite varying but generally tight laws on gun ownership, "Contrary to widely-accepted national myths, public gun ownership is commonplace in most European states," according to the Geneva-based Small Arms Survey. How can that be? "Public officials readily admit that unlicensed owners and unregistered guns greatly outnumber legal ones," possibly because of "a pervasive culture of non-cooperation with public authorities" in many places.

Just a thought, but existing examples of defiance of gun laws in the United States might be an indication that "a pervasive culture of non-cooperation with public authorities" is exactly what we should expect in response to any future successes gun controllers might achieve legislation-wise.

Tighter Gun Laws Will Leave Libertarians Better-Armed Than Everybody Else


Proving once again that LOTS of people will do whatever is necessary to protect themselves, even in Europe.

Different country, different culture, different mentality.
Here in the USA, ever now and then we hear about stories of kids finding/playing with their parent's gun & "accidently" shoots a friend while showing off.
