I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?

Not looking for a debate here, discuss cold drinks vs hot drinks instead. Appreciate either answer. ❤️

    As is Denmark, but with even fewer rifles, owing to a noticeable lack of big game.

    I think it’s important to mention that, like with medical products, we don’t generally get adverts for firearms. I want to say it’s illegal, but I’m not actually sure. Regardless, the lack of advertising for weapons contributes to the absence of firearms and related items in the public consciousness. You don’t really get people over here standing around talking about guns the same way they’d talk about sports cars or tools. Guns are very much a serious topic reserved for law enforcement and military matters.

      Sweden also has extremely strict rules when it comes to alcohol commercials. Medicine commercials is only allowed for stuff that doesn’t require a prescription.
