The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]
Come on now, it depends on who has the gun...
Do you remember certain schools?
Because homicide rates are as low as in Poland, and yet the people still have the right to defend themselves?
They already have the right to defend themselves, just not with a gun.
Seriously, if someone else were to threaten your life, you wouldn't be grateful if I were to shoot that person and therefore save your life?
I can take care of myself, and have been threatened a couple of times before. (Which is actually an understatement.)
So it's 30% more, per head. In Poland.
Interesting, I suppose that is news for me. In the last figures I've seen England, Holland and France were the most violent countries in Europe, but now it seems my country is one of the most peaceful ones. Cool.
Crime level in Poland is rather high, and much of it goes unreported.
You know, people should really drop that passive stance. If people would report it more often, then I'm sure the alarms will go off in the upper echelons of your society, because I'm sure they want to save their faces when it comes to international affairs. So if people were to report everything for a change, who knows your government might actually decide to expand the police force?
You report only grave incidents, and what is related to insurance, or when you loose your ID. Otherwise you just don't bother, it's waste of time. Even if your wallet goes with the ID in it, you don't rush, as decent thieves send your ID back. Seriously.
Well, atleast some thieves have morals.
xD
One goes with another, don't you think? Possession and right to use.
No, I really think that a better equipped and stronger police force will be a better solution than gun possession, especially since the murder rate is already so high according to the statistics you've provided. Don't you think that the murder rate will only go up when you introduce the right to use guns to Poland?
:S
