Yep.....hopefully this understanding of the Right to self defense will spread through Europe...before they sink into more violence and mass murder with a disarmed population...
Czech prez calls for European ‘2nd Amendment’
Czech president Miloš Zeman has said Europeans should “have the courage to invest in our own guns” in order to guard against international terrorism, like millions of U.S. citizens have.
The elder statesman — a veteran of the Prague Spring uprising against the old Communist regime as well as the Velvet Revolution which finally brought it down — made his comments in an address to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, an intergovernmental forum which predates the quasi-federal European Union by several years.
“The level of international crime is growing because of Islamic terrorism,” he said, in response to a question from an Armenian politician.
You dick. Lets have more guns so we can reduce our murder rate to American levels.10 times higher than ours.
Our white boys are hilarious.
Gun crime has "surged" to 1/10th of ours
They never quote gun deaths, 30000 a year here uk ?100?
Here you go...the truth about gun deaths in the U.S...
Leading Causes of Death | WISQARS | Injury Center | CDC

==================
Gun murder ( 70-80% of the victims of gun murder are actual criminals, not law abiding people)
Expanded Homicide Data Table 8
2015--
9,616
=
So....out of 9,616 actual gun murders...if you take out the 80% that are criminals murdering other criminals...that leaves...
1,923 innocent people murdered with guns...in a country of over 320 million people, who own close to 600 million guns, and personally carry over 16.3 million for self defense...
Cars killed 35,616 people in 2015.........
You have no facts that support what you believe about guns and Americans...
How many facts do you want. The USA is a violent country. Gun deaths are way higher here.
Just saw where you have 3x better chance of dying in homes which have guns.
How many baddies have you fought off hand to hand btw?
And yet....
We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 16.3 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...guess what happened...

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.[/QUOTE
It's called false equivalency, like dept of Ed ruining education.
You have no numbers to say what it would have been like if there. Had been no increase in guns.
I thought the 20s were way more violent, at least in solved murders
