"hi ! We are 2 dutch students and we dont get why almost everybody here want 's a gun . In the Netherlands having a gun is a crime . And we think thats really good , cause you see the results in the US . Kids killing each other with daddy 's gun , and we think that when you own a gun the proberbility to use it is always much closer then when you do n't own a gun . A lot of people feel safer when they have got a gun in their home , cause then you always can use it , even when you are drunk or something like that . And you are always thinking about : `` when should i use my gun `` . So . people do n't buy a gun ! what 's the use ? ! Just make sure that you do'nt get in any problems .

"I know at least one person from the Netherlands who owns a pistol . Are you sure that it is ENTIRELY illegal to own a firearm , or is it possible to obtain a permit for one ? Also , the whole `` school shooting `` business in the US is not really any sort of major problem . The thing is , the media reports every single incident making it seem more common than it really is . As far as uses for a gun : In the US lots of people live in rural areas where it could take police about an hour , or even longer , to respond . People in that situation can not rely on police protection . In addition , our police force is NOT obligated to serve as a protection force for citizens . Instead , our police are supposed to solve crimes after they occur . People in the US grew up with firearms and shooting sports . Hunting , trap and skeet , and target shooting are important parts of American culture . In fact , our government thought it was so important for citizens to be able to use firearms that they created the Civilian Marksmanship Program ( CMP ) . The CMP sells high-powered military surplus rifles at cost , to US citizens . Joszi and Bram , what experience with firearms do you have ? Maybe a day at the range would change your opinions . pickleweaseler -- The US of A ( the REAL best country to live [ in ] )"
