I hope this isn’t out of context, also I don’t want to “own the libs” or something here, I’m actually interested.

    Also every gun owner I’ve met there seems to agree the rules are sensible. Nobody is complaining they can’t open carry or shoot beer bottles in the woods. And at the ranges themselves safety is the very first thing ok everyone’s mind and it shows. Liberal gun laws can work if the owners are responsible. Also, if citizens are reasonably well off and taken care of, violence in general is less likely. Compare, for example, with stabbings in the UK.

        In addition to your points, Ipretty strongly agree with the various ideas that all of the bans, gun free zones, and other firearm villification just serves to glorify them to those that would do the rest of us harm. Its a terrible feedback loop that especially seems to impact the rare but terrifying mass killings we’ve seen over the years.
