Interesting piece. However, a quick read through revealed several misconceptions. For instance, it mentions Denmark as a country with a high rate of gun ownership, which is quite a stretch. People simply do not own handguns in Denmark.
As a European, who grew up in a country with strict gun/knife-laws, a few questions always pop up when tragic events like this happen:
-
Do those that argue for gun ownership ever stop and wonder whether it is the right way to go following such tragic events? Or is it gung-ho Second Amendment all the time?
-
The argument that ‘one could as easily just strangle/beat/whatever someone as shoot someone’ is often used to ellude that people kill people and not guns. Do guns not make it incredibly easier to kill people from a mental standpoint? Simply pulling the trigger vs. physically killing someone.
