Vox has an informative short film called “America’s Gun Problem: Explained”, at the end of this article.
The film, with some
animation and charts, shows that the when guns are available, domestic
disputes, petty crimes, and especially suicide attempts are likely to be much
deadlier. On the other hand, in some situations, individual citizens might not
be as able to protect themselves against deliberately targeted foreign or
terror attacks. That’s what happened in
France.
The US has a much more lax system in allowing citizens to
buy guns than European countries, which usually require an explanation as to
what the owner wants to do, safety certification, and custody of weapons. But the Swiss actually require males to own
weapons and serve in the military.
