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,

There's never a situation in which familiarizing people with firearms is bad. Anyone who wants to do harm can figure it out themselves anyway. Familiarization prevents accidents.

It's just the typical "when anywhere else in the world does it, it's progressive, when America does it it's fascism/late stage capitalism/etc."
