      A bunch of year ago, but I never noticed it. But in the spirit of the post I wouldn’t have to worry about knowing how to handle those guns anyway.

  Or China, or Russia, or Ukraine, or any 3rd world country, or even some 2nd world countries.

  Actually it would probably be easier to name the places you won’t see a gun than places you can.

    Which country are you from?

    I live in Israel, where there’s actually valid reasons to own a gun for defense, and I still hardly ever see one except on soldiers or police. I can only recall a single time I saw a civilian’s pistol, which they only showed me because we were having a conversation on the topic.

    Granted, soldiers with guns is an everyday occurrence on pubic transport, so maybe you have a point. But still, gun safety/violence is not even remotely as big an issue as it is in USA.

      Not the person you replied to, but I live in Spain and outside the cities there’s plenty of guns around.

      Mostly for farmers / hunting / trap competition, but also old heirlooms from the civil war that are still operational … and target shooting, which is what I do.

      What’s the valid reason?

        Terror attacks. Every now and then someone tries stabbing people with a knife or running over people with a car. Sometimes they are successful. Most incidents like this end with the terrorist getting shot, usually by a nearby police officer or soldier (on- or off-duty at the time).

        Political shit

        Of course, I was talking about terror attacks by arabs against jews, but there’s no shortage of terror attacks by jews against arabs. These, “naturally”, usually end with no charges. Yeah, this place is fucked. This asymmetry is obvious enough that it’s even brought up and criticized often in mainstream media. But with the current administration it’s unlikely anything will change, and who know what the hell is going to happen in the upcoming elections. Cult-followers outnumber sensible people.

    Russia has very strict gun controls.
