Fascinating. In adjacent threads we are all buffled with the traditions of for example Saudi legislation. For most of them, the punishing of a rape victim probably seems completely natural and adequate. For us it seems very wrong.

Same thing with the view on guns. What is perfectly right for one region/country is completely wrong for another.

I am, for instance, getting the impression that Americans are 'born with' the conviction that more guns in the street are better and safer than less. Me, I am 'born with' the opposite conviction.

I am not claiming any of the views are better. Just pointing out the fundamental differences in various societies. Who is going to take on the right to decide what is right or wrong?

BTW, are there any Americans with a more 'Swedish' view on the gun subject?
