Oh, there are a lot of guns. People just don't carry them around.
5 1 Replyneidu3 @sh.itjust.works Can confirm. I grew up in a household with an assault rifle in my dad's closet as he was part of our equivalent of the national guard.
And all of my dad's friends had a gun rack with at least one hunting rifle.
Here weapons are seen as tools and not penis/boob extenders/expanders.
Some may have a pistol or similar, but that's usually a result of a shooting club membership.

Technically speaking, a gun is a machine for making holes. As you said, a tool.

urquell @lemm.ee I have never seen a gun besides police and military. Oh, and that one time I was in the US.

Because people don't carry them around. They must be locked up and kept separately from the ammunition, or they have to be kept at a gun club.

About 20% of Europeans own a gun; about 30% of Americans own a gun. The difference is that the latter tend to own more than one gun, making it 120 guns per 100 people.
