I'm guessing you're from Finland then and I named myself after the Doors song and welcome to Music Banter.

Ah! In that case I can answer your question: I don't think Europe has less violence than the US. I haven't travelled that much, and I haven't read much on the topic, so I may be wrong, but wouldn't you say that a lot of the violence that goes on in Eastern and Southern European countries rivals that of the US?
Haha, yeah, I think of myself as civilized I'm actually from Portugal (yeah, sorry about all that...). And thank you; it looks like a really nice forum. |

The USA is considered quite a bit more violent than the UK, so I'd say that makes it a more violent place than Western Europe in general. So are you Portuguese and live in Portugal or elsewhere?

Again, I wouldn't know what causes a person to kill 20 people at a school, but I am sure it is not the fact that he owns a weapon. The gun is merely the means used to carry out his sick plan; why he did it is an entirely different question, and the only one that should be addressed, in my opinion. You gave a few good reasons for it already, I'd say! I'm Portuguese but I live abroad now. Fortunately :P |

I've travelled, lived and worked in several parts of Spain both touristy and non-touristy and it's far safer than the UK in general.

The chances of the average person being involved in a serious crime are remote, but statistics if you believe them, usually have it as the highest crime rates in Western Europe.

That's common knowledge and by letting them run around the place with guns, is a sure recipe for disaster.
