You mean privately owned guns are banned in Denmark yet you have half as
many gunshot killings as America?!?!? Now either your cops and military
folx are extremely triggerhappy or that's the best demonstration of the
ineffectiveness of gun bans that I've ever seen...

Writing from the Socialist Republic of Britain where according to BBC news
even starting pistols at swimming competitions are to be banned. Bet that
will stop a lot of killings.
