Well not really, sort of. Eu does have less crime overall in many countries, but this isnlargely unrelated to guns. When we look at the numbers every time, historically, an EU country banned guns or made more restrictive laws than crime and homicides would almost always spike very high in the years that follow. The only difference is slowly over time they stab you more rather than shoot you, but dead is dead when you arent allowed to defend yourself.
@xyfdi
@xyfdi @freemo and if they shoot criminals they get sentenced, like the old man who shot a youth from a gang robbing him in his own home while they were fleeing (only german: https://www.sueddeutsche.de/panorama/bgh-rentner-wegen-totschlags-an-16-jaehrigem-einbrecher-verurteilt-1.2710693 ).
someone who wants to fuck with the sanctity of my home deserves to catch a bullet imo.
@bonifartius
Agreed, it should be ok to shoot someone robbing from tou or trying ro assault you
@xyfdi
@xyfdi @freemo except in the EU the criminals in question are rare and mostly literal mafia members, while in the US a random hobo can rob you at gunpoint. It’s not exactly the same caliber of a problem.
