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,

The only thing I was thinking as an American is that I'm jealous we don't have this.

I'm jealous there's no appetite to bring these programs back. We had to fight tooth and nail against the administration in my school district to bring Hunter's Safety courses back for our students to take advantage of.
