gollark: It *isn't* in less gun-y countries like this one.
gollark: I lean somewhat libertarian, so I'd say "guns to anyone who is demonstrated to be reasonably sane and able to handle guns safely and is probably not a criminal".
gollark: Probably somewhat lower. I'm not certain. Addressing the causes of crime is probably generally better than increasingly strict weapons laws.
gollark: The UK seems to have substituted the possible gun crime problem an alternate UK would/might have for a knife crime problem instead.
gollark: High gun murders → states try and implement laws to remove guns.
