    I don’t think Americans quite appreciate how few guns one encounters when you are practically anywhere else in the world.

    The only guns I see in my life are in possession of trained professionals. And even then it’s a lot if I see one per three months.

    I’ve never been in a situation in my life where I’ve regretted not having a gun. Rather the opposite, I’ve been struggling with depression at a point in my life where access to a gun might have provided an easy way out.

    And generally I like guns. As in I’ve been interested in military history for my entire life. When I’m the us I’ve been to a shooting range and thought that was cool (but also terrifying).
