To ts-pulsar,
That was an interesting and informative read. Thank you for sharing it.
To Diray,
There are a variety of knives made for a variety of purposes. That includes knives that one might call a "defensive tactical folder" which would be made for utility and defense (killing people if you must).
Firearms do have uses other than "killing people". This includes competitive shooting sports, recreational target shooting, and hunting. There are in fact firearms that would be impractical to be going around shooting people with.
Also regarding this quote "We let the police handle that kind of stuff, and let the insurance pay the damage." What happens where the police can't respond quickly enough and the damage is irreparable and the insurance company can't bring you and/or your family back to life?
To Nehil,
"I'm pretty sure the chance that your buddy does it and you shoot him is bigger." Anyone who trains for self-defense using firearms would learn that target identification is extremely important and that you are responsible for where all of your bullets go. Given that one would be less than likely to kill a buddy (who shouldn't be sneaking up on you anyway).
Pertaining to "if you wanted to buy a illegal gun, do you know where to go and who to ask? In Sweden I don't have a fucking clue". you don't know where to buy an illegal gun because you're not a criminal. I don't know where to buy an illegal gun because I'm not a criminal. Legal gun owners wouldn't have any idea how to buy illegal guns either because they're not criminals.
To All,
I am an American and a soon-to-be legal firearms owner/carrier. I believe in self-defense and being as prepared as possible to defend my life if the need should arise. I understand that using/carrying firearms is a huge responsibility and am prepared to accept that. I am not looking for any fights, nor am I looking to kill anyone. I hope I will never be in such a life-threatening situation. I do not expect I will ever be in a such a situation. I do plan on being prepared to defend my life with lethal force (including the use of a firearm) if I have to.
Also, I heartily enjoy shooting sports. I have fun with casual target shooting. I like to do some friendly competitive shooting with friends. I enjoy shooting skeet. And I have had good times hunting. If the right to keep and bear arms was taken away from me I would not know what to do. I would feel ill-equipped to defend myself. I would lose a lot of opportunity to have fun. I would be worried about possible oppression by our government. I would very likely attempt to move to another, more enlightened place, if gun ownership was outlawed.
Thank you for your time reading my post and the interesting communication.
