A common American argument for owning guns is the need to defend yourself from others. But how do people from other countries feel about this approach? What is their notion of what it means to protect yourself (eg from home invaders, etc) where gun ownership does not come into play? Do you simply rely on calling the police or what?

We do have an overabundance of guns available in supply for the general population that are overly easy for people to obtain which make mass shootings more likely to happen.

sebzilla posted:These things would have not happened if there were no guns. Next thing I want to know is how did guns get to be so plentiful in the U.S. versus other countries? When, chronologically, did gun ownership per capita in the U.S. reach into the dozens as opposed to one or two and when did people really start to stockpile guns? Was it during the Wild West period? During the Civil Rights movement of the 60s/70s?
