I can understand using guns for hunting, and maybe for home defense. I can also understand that is cool to shoot guns at a range. I don't understand how it's possible for an 18 year old to buy something like an ar15 or people carrying firearms openly.

If I was allowed to, I might buy a gun and handle it very carefully. But I am very happy I can't so other people also won't have access to them, there are too many crazy people. Now I won't have to arm myself against these people. In short: no guns in Holland (except for wild game regulation and law-enforcement).

In the USA? I don't understand a lot of Americans, it's culturally so different (too much god and holding on to prehistoric laws) that it's not my place to judge. Oh, I just did, did I?

I don’t think guns should be banned. Guns require proper regulations, training, and better filtering processes. I don’t think an unhinged conspiracy nut in Facebook should have a gun but that doesn’t mean I think they should be banned.

No. Not ever. Not even any restrictions. And we really need to disband the military, since there's no legitimate need for a standing army. The government is meant to fear its citizenry.

Considering that we have a 2nd Amendment, there's not a debate to be had. It's like debating if you believe the military should be able to house soldiers in one's home without your consent. They don't and no matter how much one may want it to happen, it's not gonna happen.
