I'm shocked that citizens are allowed to carry
concealed firearms in USA. Things sure are different on the other side of the ocean. In Norway no one owns a gun, not even the police carries firearms.

There's a lot of people living in a peter pan fantasy world where the government will protect them in all ways and absolve them of personal responsibility. Bullshit.

I suppose I live in a peter pan fantasy world, and I'm pretty damn glad I do. The Economist states in an editorial that when people can get guns more easily there are more deaths which are caused by guns. There is a research result in 1996 about murders with guns. According to this research, there were two murders in New Zealand, fifteen in Japan, 30 in United Kingdom, 106 in Canada, 211 in Germany. On the other hand, in the USA, there were 9,390 gun related murders (America, 1998). This is a plain fact. Though there is a difference in population between each countries, it seems that there are too many gun related murders in the USA. Firearms-related incidents are taking place even in countries that it is illegal to possess guns. Therefore, it is needless to say that more gun related incidents would be occurring if the government permits gun ownership.
