alt Hacker NewsThere are plenty of countries aside the US where citizens can and do own guns.
E.g. gun control is strict in most of Europe compared to the US, but it's entirely attainable to most people without a criminal record to own firearms.

Yes, but typically not handguns, the prevalence of them in the US is unusual compared to other Western countries.

yes, but nobody gives a fuck.
Perhaps the commenter shouldn't have said: only gun nuts care.

Not handguns though right? I think you need a justifiable need in most of Europe like being in a hunting club.
Also amusing is I see way more rifles especially in Europe than I ever do in the USA; Paris and other metros really seem to like having soldiers walking around armed.
Here we just have cops with sidearms and one or two cowboys open carrying.
