an unarmed people is a slave people. The right to bear weapons is the right to be free.
I will never, ever, ever give up my RIGHT to defend and protect myself. Something most Europeans have no idea about.

You can have a gun in Europe if you want. Getting the permit is a little more restrictive but doable. You can't get an assault rifle or walk on the street with a gun but definitely you can own one. Finland has the third highest number of guns in the world per capita.
I like guns, shotguns particularly. A couple of weeks ago I was shooting with a FS2000 assault rifle. I loved it. But I don't think that I need a weapon to be protected and I don't find any relation between owning a gun and being free. Here is very easy to own a gun but I don't see less individual freedom in the European countries at all.
From what you want to be protected?
You are not going to die shot by a guy that got into your house.
You are going to die probably of cancer or a heart attack. Eating vegetables and exercising often will keep you safer than a gun.
