Assume that this is not a wannabee, but someone who, for example, already has a solid job offer from an EU country, and some cash for the relocation.

          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.

          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.
