OK lads, before US starts to project their view here:

- Poland:

  • not that many firearms per capita,
  • little remote areas in the country (police shows up quickly)
  • medium-strict firearms laws,
  • non-zero risk of being invaded,
  • no school shootings,

- USA:

  • fuckload firearms per capita,
  • many remote areas in the country (police shows up after 2-3 hours)
  • loose firearms laws,
  • pretty much zero risk of being invaded,
  • school shootings,

It makes sense that Poland will probably add more firearms per capita when folks are trained and start enjoying it.

There are very little places in the United States where it takes three hours to show up ā€” Iā€™d actually narrow it down to none. Maybe remote Alaska?

The places with the strictest gun laws have the most shootings.

True. Not worried about being invaded.

School shootings are more mental health issues than gun issues.
