Can any of you anti gunners out there tell me what the gun laws of Amsterdam are?
Do they allow normal citizens to buy fully automatic weapons.....?
The reason I ask is that the immigrant gangs in Amsterdam seem to prefer fully automatic weapons...while American criminals seem to prefer hand guns...is this simply a cultural difference? Are the European criminals just less experienced in gun crime...since hand guns achieve the same end but are easier to actually carry and conceal...

Murders
There were 25 murders in Amsterdam last year, of which 10 were gang-related. Two-thirds of the violent deaths were solved but the gang violence is more difficult to crack, Van der Laan said.
In the last six months of 2014, police seized 31 automatic weapons in the city, including 23 kalashnikov rifles.
The killers themselves are different to years ago, Aalbersberg said. ‘In the early 1990s, hit men would come in from abroad, but now the suspects are more likely to come from the city. They swap burglary for murder,’ he said. 33 Share Share Share Tweet Share
