      I know you mean this as a joke but does that not make sense with US history?

      A lot of killing causes people to own guns, a lot of guns causes a lot of killings, and repeat.

        Yes, just a joke.

        I’d have a hard time preparing for a school shooting or similar, simply based on the mere lack of guns in my environment. I think I held an actual gun in my hand once in my life and that was in Murica. And it was a civil war times rifle. Not sure I’d even be able to do a shoot without hurting myself.
