The issue is that a continent that detests guns culturally probably just wouldn't use guns, for good or ill purposes, as much as a culture that likes guns.

The gun control argument rests on the idea that there are huge number of Europeans that would love to commit murder but just give up because of gun laws.

This is not credible on the face and so in a time where we are discussing guns, gun laws, murder and the differences in developed nations it is that natural next step of analysis.

I'm contending that lower rates of murder in Europe have explanations other than gun laws. It's a substantive observation on my part, and I'm noting that people that complain about my doing substance are oddly miles away from the substance of this issue.

Mr. Perfect wrote:- What I have noted for more than a decade is that what we would call a "cultural" aversion to firearms in European countries. Many Europeans find guns to be "vulgar". This is a partial to full phobia. I've seen many liberals actually quiver at the thought of being in the presence of a gun. It doesn't make sense to have people who have an actual mental problem on an issue deciding the issue. Europeans don't like guns. As a result, it would make sense that many Europeans don't pursue gun ownership.
Strange reasoning. When Europeans on average don't like guns to be in the public domain except when carried by police it doesn't mean they have "an actual mental problem" with guns, why you maketh that assertion? If it is a tradition to think of gun ownership that way and the murder rates are considered low enough, who cares?
- Guns are actually legal in Europe and there are a lot of them, and as we see in France there is a black market for what liberals call military grade rifles that can easily be obtained. Just as people who want drugs can get drugs where drugs are illegal so also can guns be obtained in Europe if any murderer wants one.
Guns are legal in the context of shooting clubs and hunting animals, but not to be carried in the public domain by any Joe when he goes out shopping. Of course illegal weapons are traded everywhere among criminals around the world with the aim of committing crimes with it. So that is a zero-sum argument.
So our conclusion must be that gun control doesn't actually work in Europe. Lower murder rates would be attributed to other factors.
Wrong conclusion entirely. Gun control in Europe works in Europe, most likely not in the US and vice versa.

It's just keeping current with the times. Eg, if you "don't like" homosexuality, or sex change surgery then you are "homophobic" or "transphobic". In this way we are dealing with the phenomenon of gunphobia.

Well, that is problematic. US liberals won't stop talking about the wonders of European gun control, or gun control in "developed nations", and so the purpose of this thread is to examine these comparisons.

It's hard to accept the premise of European gun control accounting for lower murder rates when we look into the details.

Specifically, this thread is about examining cultural attitudes about guns rather than just the laws.

i seem to remember democrat cities full of drug gangs being high on the list of reasons of america having a high death rate last time we discussed this.

why do europe and australias druggies seem less prone to killing each other ?

having a population full of angry ex slaves might be a part of it.

Yup.

Great questions. This is the kind of thing I was hoping there would be input.

My research indicates that culture also transmits to criminals. I'm open to suggestions.

Could be. But monitoring the issue I finder more present influences. Like say "gangster rap". Recently I asked everyone I knew how many murders could be linked to the Confederate flag. The answer was probably less than a dozen, and many years close to zero if not zero.

I then started asking how many murders could be linked to rap music, the answer that has started to form is "about half".

Based on some stats I saw once, the area where the US tops over the EU in gun related crime and murder is illegal drugs and its multi-billion dollar business in impoverished neighborhoods. US gvts created the drug cartels in Mexico et-al, being totally blind to the 101 mechanics underpinning it.
It's hard to accept the premise of European gun control accounting for lower murder rates when we look into the details.
If the gun related murder rate (minus those related to illegal drugs) is practically the same in the US as in Europe, it is equally meaningless to claim that no gun control works in the US.

It seems safer to say that different cultures with different attitudes and laws on gun ownership and use, can have the same gun related murder rate effectively. One would expect that if Europeans and Mericans would start to live by each others gun laws.. murder rates would increase on both sides.

I doubt it. I think the compulsion to murder finds a way, just as the desire to get high. The compulsion to murder is of interest, as well as my ability to defend myself from it since the government cannot guarantee my safety.

Drugs are also illegal in Europe.
But Europe has less impoverished neighborhoods where drug trade becomes the only means of making some money. Add the fact that guns exist in much greater number in the US and are much easier to obtain. But the bigger point is that making drugs illegal creates drug cartels, more crime and costs the tax payer plenty of law enforcement etc.

People differ on how they see their safety served best. So far I'm fine with how my safety is served in the Netherlands where guns are kept out of the street as much as possible minus police officers that are allowed to carry them. If every Joe here would be allowed to carry a gun anywhere it would make me feel less safe. I surely would want a gun myself then too; that's the nature of an arms race. I prefer not to be in an arms race though. Of course if police and gvt start to abuse their position and start to threaten me instead of those who threaten me... i.e. they start to behave like criminals themselves, it might be time for an armed resistance. And as you said: you can buy guns in the black market very easily. So for the moment, no worries.

You said that Europeans are dying to get their hands on guns and start killing. That would not not suggest gunphobia but gunphilia. In either case, it is nonsense.

I don't know. Google might help. I suspect though that in a rich country like Switzerland with very few to none impoverished urban ghettos and a tradition of responsible gun ownership they are doing fine as do all similar rich areas in Europe. The combination of poverty, illegal drugs and crime makes guns more lethal methinks.

With real world experience in the US we know a Concealed Carry patriot is many times less likely to murder anyone than a non concealed carry. If you were to come to the US statistically you would be more likely to murder than I.

We have a healthy carry rate, and it has no criminal tie. In America I don't pack to guard against other concealed carry, but against murderous criminals. So there isn't an arms race in that sense.

I've never been in a car accident. But I wear a seatbelt anyway.
To demand a guarantee on safety is over the top. Nobody can guarantee your safety.
Let's rephrase this. Nobody demanded a guarantee, but the government guarantees that it cannot guarantee my safety. This makes me the last line of my defense, and I am entitled to the means of my defense by right.
You said that Europeans are dying to get their hands on guns and start killing. That would not not suggest gunphobia but gunphilia. In either case, it is nonsense.
No I did not say that even slightly. To say this is disingenuous on your part.

I said the premise of gun control working in Europe is that there would have to be many Europeans itching to commit murder but quit because they can't get a hold of any guns, I said this was irrational on it's face and therefore lower murder rates in Europe would have to be attributed to other factors.

It's actually poverty, illegal drugs, and liberalism that is the lethal stew.

We have places that have all these without the liberalism and they don't have the murder rates.

Yet, Europe according to, mostly insular, Americans is a liberal - socialist - pinko commie hell hole.

So by your thesis their murder rates should dwarf those of the USA, whereas, the reality is the reverse.

No, as I have stated many times, European leftists have a different proscription for their low income populations than American liberals. US liberals depend on their ghettoes being the way they are in order to maintain power. If the Democrat underclass populations became educated, prosperous, home owning and nuclear family forming they would switch parties and Democrats would cease to exist.

It saves everyone time if you argue with what I actually say and not what your imagination says I say.

As not the root cause. Also not too comparable because the South rose up as an opposing government as opposed to armed insurgency, and so forth.

The irony is that while Americans claim that gun ownership is necessary to "protect freedom",
they have been falling over each other in their rush to trade their rights and freedoms for a little perceived security.

I'm open to suggestion. I've seen gunphobia so many times with my own eyes in America. Literal, actual fear with the quivering of body and voice. What I see from Europe seems very similar, with some differences. So maybe gunphobia plus cultural distaste. I'm exploring the ideas.
