Why are Europeans so triggered by guns?

Why are gun laws so strict in Europe compared to the United States?

I know there are a few exceptions in eastern Europe and Switzerland, but why are Europeans so anti-Gun?

The answer to both questions is because they're faggots.

Is it that simple?

In that case - how do Europeans stop being faggots?

They can't. They've been cucked for too long. Britain might have a chance and maybe France if they elect Le Pen though.

>4 nuggets

literally what's the point?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_guns_per_capita_by_country

I am from the west coast of Ireland but live in California now. I could get a rifle for hunting Ireland if I wanted it, but there is no need for a handgun. It is kind of a tourist town, nut it is allI
West Europeans. People get drunk and in a fight sometimes, so maybe them having a handgun is not a good idea. People do not have anything to defend themselves from.

Now living California, after being jumped walking home from work (Oakland), I have handguns and carry a knife at all times.

Because niggers.

They are not anti-gun when shit happens...
Then they come crying the the United States for help.

>56%
>calling anyone cucks

We want guns, but our governments are afraid of us. We have a history of killing our governments when they fuck up.

>Because niggers.

America would have to get rid of the niggers before they get rid of guns.

Don't forget the illegal Mexicans.

>trying to consider illegals as part of our population
Thought polish were smarter than this? So you count every vacationer as part of the population as well? These people are leaving soon.

Why is Sweden so high? I thought they were the most cucked country in Europe.

sadly

Because every nigger in your country can get a gun and look how this goes.

While America used guns to free themselves Europeans used guns to kill their leaders.

compare with

Getting rid of guns would be far easier than solving this - and getting rid of guns would be next to impossible.

i get triggered by your shitty "beer"

yeah, they use them to shoot up other niggers. i get why you see a problem with that Mustafa

Same reason Canada is number 12 there.

They have guns to hunt mostly.

So they have a gun meant for deer a gun for turkey a gun for duck a gun for a different kind of bird a gun for their kid to learn how to use and so on.

Basically if you're a gun owner here in Canada and regularly hunt you'll have about 5-10 guns.

That weapon is austrian and you're a faggot.

Jealous people will say anything.

I just found out I get to shoot an uzi on Friday. I might bring my G.I.Joes.

Gun ownership in Britain is certainly possible, but it's basically a non-starter if you live in a city. And the Police are the ultimate gun-pansies. I'm sure I don't need to post the WWII gun stash that got destroyed so mercilessly.

After illegals over 70% you cuck

how is this a thing
serbia has a lot of illegal guns but legal ones?
getting a gun here is too fucking hard, too much red tape

Because guns have always been tightly controlled in Europe. The nobility made sure that the only people that had guns were themselves and their most trusted people and servants. Common people were not allowed to own guns, because guns are tool of the rulers.

Consequently, European culture is very anti-gun, because they've been told since the invention of the gun that "guns are bad" and "guns are only for rulers and their tools".

Seriously.

America is pro-gun because it was a frontier existence. Guns were for self defense and for providing for yourself and family. America is so big, that most of it is still quite wild. Bears and mountain lions (pumas) regularly prowl through suburbs in much of the country. People still need guns outside the large population centers just to defend themselves from the more dangerous of the local wildlife.

Inside the major population centers, small arms are used by many to protect themselves from the more dangerous of their fellow two legs.

HAHA WHITE PPL #2 THEYRE EVIL RASIYS

Americans really shouldn't talk for Europeans because you have no idea what you are talking about

shotgun certificates are still shall issue here
getting a firearms licence is next to impossible for most people though

>how is this a thing
These estimates mostly come from here;
smallarmssurvey.org/publications/by-type/yearbook.html

what are you laughing at upside-down poland??

>Germans lecturing on beer

Fuck off Erik, get some real ales

Not all Europeans .. in rural austria (lel) you have
farmers and basically every second one has a shotgun or hunting rifle thing is we dont talk about it or make it a "cultural" thing, gun pr is also not a thing or its kinda a unspoken rule to not make a big deal out of guns private or public.

I'm english and I think guns are cool as fuck. Super triggered we can't own them back home actually. Is an FN-FAL a faggy gun choice ameribros, I fucking love the look of the old school ones. Just the way the muzzle fire comes out like a triangle shape instead of a star looks cool as fuck and whatever the bit behind the barrel is (muzzle??) looks sweet with the holes in. Also like PPSH, mp40, thompson and m1 garand(dont know much about guns no h8 pls)

Yeah when they are not robbing stores with them or kill police officers

But stay delusion.

a fucking leaf explained it pretty well. i think here in finland guns are more divided among people because they are so expensive.

>This thread again
I can't speak for the weak and feeble Europeans but for us in Great Britain we have our own second amendment and that is the Monarchy, every soldier, sailor and pilot swears an oath to her, she retains the power to remove government.

Armed militia might work for America and it does and I fully support your second amendment rights but over here it's not right for us.
Maybe in the future when more mud skins are in our country at your levels but for now it's just not necessary

>Because guns have always been tightly controlled in Europe

Maybe mainland europe. In the UK anyone aged over 14 could buy whatever kind of gun they wanted without a licence, without a "cooling off period", without any records being kept, before the 1930's.
Mainland europe was always seen, in the UK, as an authoritarian dystopia though.

Probably because the EU has conditioned a lot of people to think guns=bad and also there's fuckloads of SJW faggots there.

>but over here it's not right for us.
Why? The only reason that part of the British Bill of Rights was destroyed is because the government was scared of a communist uprising in the 30's.
Before that there were no gun laws apart from no guns near the monarch.

Hell, many high schools (leaving age was 14 at the time) had rifle ranges and offered shooting lessons before 1930.

Yet our crime levels all went through the roof after we started banning guns

cuz they lose every time they pick one up

This, they've even apparently managed to rewrite history see eg. The UK once had more guns per capita than the US did. We even had a prime minster that was in favour of having a rifle in every home.

When did multiculturalism start land sliding? 1960's onwards
Like I said in the parts of the country that are still 85-98% white we just don't need guns.
I remember hearing that most police and professional criminals don't carry guns as they know the other side doesn't, makes sense in a country without a gun culture.
Of course niggers are always going to fuck that up eventually, but we have very few and most blacks integrate well.
It's the muslims I'm scared about

owning a gun here is privilage (how the fuck do you spell that??) not a right, it sucks but its not us thats the cucks its the government that are cunts, they dont want us armed because they like us nice and controllable. I have an air pistol, upper limit of legal power and modified to be a bit stronger too, 2 air rifles a crossbow and 2 bows. im shit hot with the bow too, obviously dosnt have the power of a gun but against any un armoured target i could be deadly at some range....this is more for shtf situation though as opposed to rebelling against the government. I also trained tae kwon do for 12 years and start krav maga 6 months back. if society descends to anarchy i think im more likely to survive than most.

muh amok

Please don't talk for Britain if you can't use basic grammar or spell.

oh and the sad thing is that our government took away our guns in 1883
there was a rebellion but the king and his troops made short work of them

>i'm a goy; the pic

Beating your chest about muh triggered Europeans doesn't make you an American, burger

You never use them for their intended purpose. So that begs the question: why are you so triggered by duty set by your (((Founding Fathers)))?

In the latter years the situation has become such that one can not count on the police for protection. And at the same time there are strong legal repercussions for breaking gun laws. The police cannot protect us, and the government does not allow us to protect ourselves.

This is fucked up and guns should be legal across the board.

How many fedoras do you own?

you really didnt need another thread to suck each other off.
colonization of america etc. explains why guns are more widely available in the US, and growing up around weapons explains why people are less sensitive about them there.
legal status developed differently here and since people grow up without weapons theyre more afraid of them. its similar to how a few decades ago blood would be running down the streets from butcher shops and people slaughtered their own livestock at home and nobody minded, but now that seeing blood and dead animals isnt part of daily life anymore people arent used to it.

Cool it Habib, don't you have a child to rape?

Leftists who oppose this

Israel is a racist apartheid state who has illegal Jewish ONLY settlements in the west bank where the border walls are wrapping around them inside Palestinian in an obvious land grab.
youtube.com/watch?v=Pp1wVPeg59Q

This is why terrorism happens and why the rest of the west gets blowback from it.

Israel builds these settlements on top of Palestinian villages that they have bulldozed by the military.
youtube.com/watch?v=EC6C-cAc240

If you support Israel you are not a leftist. End of Story.

Lost of wilderness too hunt in, if you would take only the white population in South Africa, we would be very high on that list, I know of very few whites who don't own at least one gun. Maybe in the cities its less, but in the more rural areas everybody owns guns.

...

I'm not.
Couldn't be assed with a gun safe though (they cost nearly £200 and you need one _before_ they give you a firearms licence hence I have a crossbow; it still grinds my fucking gears when someone picks it up and doesn't use proper trigger discipline.
Lack of trigger discipline triggers me.

Oh and the fact that in the UK a fucking butter knife is classed as a 'bladed article', you can literally be arrested for having a picnic.

>need
>It's the muslims I'm scared about
Guess what, they can already get whatever guns they want.
People also didn't need to own guns before 1930 yet they did.
You think it's hard to get a hold of a gun in the UK? The police stumble upon caches like pic related on a daily basis across the UK.
The police didn't carry guns before the 1930's, when the population did, because we had this thing called public hanging if you killed a police officer, it's nothing to do with criminals not using guns.
Your grasp on history is terrible.

youtube.com/watch?v=qkek6P8L4BE
:^)

LOL, our crime rates went through the fucking roof when the immigration from the west indies started.

Maybe, lots of things changed during the 60's.
The fact is that the number of gun owners had no impact on crime rates.

>Lost of wilderness to hunt in
This. Where and what the fuck would I hunt?
The two square meters of forest with nothing in them?

That, plus if it's legal for all citizens to get guns, there would be a lot of Mohammedans with guns.
So I'd rather go nogunz desu.

[spoiler]Crossbows don't need a license and can be sold to anyone over 18 with no registration or background checks.
Don't tell anybody.[/spoiler]

Only people who love and own guns here are war vets with PTSD. Also, european countries have very high trust in their police and army to protect them, USA is a special case with your ingrained " don't thread on me attitude" towards gov.

saging for testing on this shit board of this shit site that should be purged and be rebuilt, due to corporate shills and government psy ops and taking control of its moderation.

But at the same time i thank god that cuckchan is still mainstream, it would be hell otherwise in the central command.

>Waiting on someone else to come save you

I legally own 5 guns, including a .233 semi auto rifle

.223*

We are all still feudal serfs. Americans were once free, but they fell for the lie of the (((Founding Fathers))) that freedom is the same as liberty. That's why they work so hard to take your guns and limit your freedom of speech. You are not your ancestors.

>there would be a lot of Mohammedans with guns
>he thinks they can't already get guns
how naive
even your average yob in the middle of no-gun central - glasgow, where airguns are considered deadly firearms - can get their hands on a gun


>USA is a special case with your ingrained " don't thread on me attitude" towards gov
I think you'll find that to be the British attitude
up until the adoption of the european communities act, mainland europe was seen as an authoritarian dystopia

Europeans aren't "triggered" by them, they are just not used to seeing them because guns are taboo in most countries, except for the people growing up hunting with their fathers/grandfathers.

What the fuck would they use a gun for?
>everyone lives in cities
>countryside has been hunted out since the 17th century

Nobody needs an expensive and inferior boondoggle because they don't live in paranoia of having their shit nicked because their societies are relatively safe.

Results out of the legal system.
Short:
First citizens in US take their land and their right. And protected it with their guns.
In Europ long long time ago, the Kings or others gave you rights and protect it.
I

I can't facepalm hard enough.
I can't wait to get out of this dump.

>In Europ long long time ago, the Kings or others gave you rights and protect it.
>tfw Britain is no associated with europe's authoritarian past and present because of the EU

For the most part I'd say it has to do with the fact that most European countries don't have a constitutionally protected right to bear arms. Most gun bans come in on a surge of emotion after some mass shooting, like the UK handgun ban in 1997.

You've surely noticed how after Sandy Hook there were a shitton on calls in the USA to start introducing even more gun control. If it wasnt for your 2nd amendment and the cultureal effects that it has on your society, you'd probably be in a similar situation.

European gun laws are pretty lax compared to the rest of the world but yes, we can't buy them in supermarkets without ID.
No it's not? I have a collectors permit and two dozen guns and I'm a regular citizen. I only pay $30 in taxes yearly for it, not including VAT on ammo and gun purchase.

ncc-1776.org/tle2010/tle558-20100221-07.html

It is actually easy here in Norway to get a gun. But only those with money can get it because it is fairly expensive for those under middle class here. And that is mostly immigrants and blacks.

>Europe

who gives a fuck?

European militaries are, in general, not loyal to the gubmint but "the King/State/People".

The ground troops of Britain, for example, is not the "Royal X" like the RAF and the Royal Navy, but the British Army.
The Turkish Army (inb4 not yurop) has their loyalty with their people too, and has overthrown various governments before Erdogan fucked them.

Yeah, but most of them are stupid and not "criminal" enough to go for the actual organized gun crimes here in the Benelux.
If anything they've got knives. The amount of guns and the strict gun control in the Netherlands is waaay too low for any common hoodrat to have a gun.

The only ones who have actual guns are European mafioso, because they're the only ones smart enough and with the right connections to source firearms (usually from Eastern Europe) without immediately being visited by the ME.

Guns were pretty much banned in 1919 here because the government was afraid of a communist/socialist revolution...

>I have an air pistol, upper limit of legal power and modified to be a bit stronger too
t. actual spastic who doesn't realise an air pistol that puts out more than 6ft/lb energy is a section 5 (prohibited) weapon which automatically earns you a 5 year minimum prison sentence

Nothing's stopping you from buying/building a crossbow and sharpening your bolts mate.

Getting a fucking airsoft gun requires a registration with the National Airsoft League and membership with an airsoft club, for some fucking reason.

>The only ones who have actual guns are European mafioso
That is nonsense m8. Does this guy stealing smokes sound mafioso to you?
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-35396627


In Scotland the cut-off is 1 joule muzzle energy. :^)

Don't forget, broadheads cut through kevlar vests like hot knives through butter. You need trauma plates to stop them.

>sweet sauce
Are u chinese, faggot?

Amazing...

What semi auto do you own? I want to buy one but cant make up my mind. 223 is nice but steel case military 7.62x51 ammo is very cheap so I might go with a G3

We are not sharting faggots with small dicks that need guns to feel strong

This is what the UK police do now, they barely even investigate crimes now. Iirc at the last count only 10% of burglaries were solved. That is when they even start an investigation (if they don't start an investigation then the crime survey doesn't look as bad).

independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/police-failed-to-fully-investigate-home-invasions-for-three-months-if-house-had-odd-number-10439757.html

Total numbers of crimes committed aren't even recorded any more, "crime statistics" are for all intents and purposes now an opinion poll.

>being this scared of metal pipes

I meant in the Netherlands/Benelux. I thought I mentioned it.
No clue how it's in Britain.

Damn right. A properly tuned crossbow + sharpened bolts means instant death.
I've shot at various targets, and if it hits something it will pretty much always penetrate and have fun pulling it out, because it'll take with it the whole impact area.

Oh yeah, forgot to say that even though a butter knife or a stanley knife is illegal to carry a slingshot is considered as a toy.

Try telling that to the rabbit who's head disintegrated above the lower jaw.

Someone even killed a fucking grizzly bear with one using an arrow.
A fucking bear with rubber bands.

UK weapons law is an arbitrary retarded rollercoaster. Lock knives are illegal, but backsprung knives (swiss army knives for example) are perfectly legal so long as the blade is less than or equal to 3 inches.

You'd think with a national health service they'd want knives that didn't chop fingers off with one small mistake.

>I meant in the Netherlands/Benelux. I thought I mentioned it.
Oh, You might be right although I really doubt it. You don't even have a water border to stop guns being smuggled in.

Blow pipes are also illegal yet left very vaguely defined. :^)

Hey man, don't knock it till you try it.

Eat a big bowl of eggs and onions and sausage, go to your local convienence mart, let out a big share and tell me you don't feel liberated.

FN-FAL is a fine battle rifle. Make sure to read up and handle anything before you decide on your first purchase. Get educated and get some experience. Especially if you're new to guns.

Heck of a shotgun.

You can get this in the UK without any background checks. It recocks the string at the touch of a button.

Even if they banned broadheads you can still make decent ones out of steel table spoons if you heat treat them right.

Can you own a handgun in nederland?

>still make decent ones out of steel table spoons
If you're going to start making your own things illegally you may as well go to the plumbers merchants and make yourself an air rifle.

I love guns but in order to get a licence you have to pay for it, give a reason why you want a gun, and if approved you have to pass the shooting exam. Moreover you have to buy the gun and they aren't cheap. But I have no need to worry. My dad and my uncles have weapons so I'm ready for the upcoming race war.
