see New York and California
See Markus, all the gun control laws accomplish is to make it more difficult or impossible for certain folks to get guns in a legitimate fashion. For example, when my wife and I lived in Texas, she would do home nursing visits or work in hospitals in unsavory sections of town, probably better business in those neighborhoods. The security guy walks you to the car at the hospital, and you are on your own. Well in her case, she was not totally on her own, since she had Mssrs Smith and Wesson riding with her.
Here in California, identical work situation, with the exception that it is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE for her to get a permit to carry a weapon legally. The hospitals are so messed up here compared to Texas(which I attribute to managed care and nursing unions) she refused to work in one. She was doing the home health thing here, but I pressured her to quit when I discovered she was rolling strapped without a perfit for it. Would not have her driving around where she would have to be driving around waving a nail file, and I would not be a bit surprised if you would do time in a state prison if you were carrying without a permit, even if you were a hospice nurse delivering morphine to those dying of cancer in the ghetto.
People who are not concerned with what the law happens to be are the only ones carrying firearms, and they know that they can go to certain places where nobody will have anything stronger than a pocket knife to stop them. See school massacres in Colorado, Oregon, California, and more recently Denmark I believe.
The guns are there already, and the Constitution does say that we were endowed with certain rights by the "Creator"(I know you don't buy the creator thing, and those fellas were not talking about the "Gods of the Christians, Jews, Muslims or Native Americans, they were placing these rights above the rule of "Man", so 230 years later nobody would get any wise ideas)
We do have people here who have a more "Swedish" or "European" outlook here in the US, they generally call them Democrats.
