I take a diffrend side on this issue as gun control being good thing. Thought I know it's not as easy to control as big nation as US, over here the gun control works pretty good and you are only allowed to carry a gun with a license and only in reason of hunting. shooting someone even for a self defense is a crime no matter if the other has a gun or not, here only ones that are allowed to shoot with any chance of getting away with it is police / military police.

And as far as I know we have bearly had any gun insidence... probably less than 50 people die from shooting per year and that is pretty good if you ask me. But as I said Finland is quite diffrend from US.
