If firearm ownership was more widespread in Romania, the late 40's to early 60's would have been very different there.
Probably! But there is a reason firearms were not widespread not only in this country but very well in the rest of Europe.

Come to think of it, the only countries where firearms are more widespread than in the US are the middle-easter countries.

And it looks so normal

Actually, the Swiss have very high ownership of firearms - automatic too. Their history relative to conflict is an anomaly, but it certainly makes it hard to generalize that there is a link between ownership and agression.

I?m in chock sorry about the sharp tone and the spelling to this here just pisses me off to reed, that you are sitting actuarially in positive terms discoursing weapons, dos any of you realise you are talking about tools that will kill other people and you own these tools, some of you severel and you are happy about it to? I could make a suggestion for an answer, but i don?t, I?m to furious for that, and some of you might use your thingies on me if i did.

I fully aware that this is a cultural related custom in the US, to own guns, but that doesn?t make it all right, your interest are coursing death every day around the globe, right down the street from you some young kid gets killed right now, and taken his right to live from him, by someone else with a private owned gun and in the US legal gun or one of your guns you got stolen from you.

I know you will say its only for protection or target practise, well that doesn?t make it all right at all, what the f... is going on in your heads, i am in chock that i am burning for the same fantastic car brand along side with people that think so little about other people, the way we should live together and life in general, that actually write about there fantastic killing tool in that terms on a BMW forum.

I don?t think anyone ever will be able to justify the ownership of firearms in anyway, well hunting maybe, under sharp control, there is no valid argument for private guns and firearms in public or private, they should be melted to solid steel all together and be used to make a monument to remind us how stupid we once where.

I really cant understand how this forum can allow this kind of dialogs ???

Here in Denmark and Sweden its extremely difficult to get a weapon legally, well unless you are hunter and go through the education to be hunter, still that?s way to liberal for me, but i feel safe when i walk the streets here. There is increasing problems with weapons here, but its illegal weapons and its be course there are coming more of them. More guns more people develop there stupidity to insanity i really fear for my kids if this continue.

I?m really sorry if some of you don?t want to talk to me or answer my threads, i mean it well, it must be cultural related so it seams normal in your part of the world, and hope you will think about what you are doing, there is no evidence what so ever that guns make the world better on the other hand we have 170.000 year of mankind of evidence that people carrying weapons makes the world miserable and only bring bad, very bad indeed memories, why doesn?t we learn anything.

yeah it a free world any person can say any thing.
So you can say what you what, it OK.
Dont forget this world is a mad world so let just enjoy our e60 and all other toy before we die
I see Guns as a work of art just like the M5 V10 engine, I dont look at it as a weapons.

Yes that?s another very important thing to keep the free world, and as i hoped i got it through its not guns that kills people its people that kills people, thats very important to remember and i dont think of any of you as that kind of people at all, dont prove me wrong now :-).

Maybe its just me, but im just very surprised to reed this, its so distant from world I live in and i cant se the relevance for owning a gun at all, we live in a world that moves so fast and pressure people to do more stupid things, if they have free access to weapons, witch you have in US compared to here, you will get one of your kids shot on a normal day in school, or self or a friend in a argument in the traffic, on your way to a nice dinner with you wife, by a man just been left by his wife and fired from his job, his not happy an for brief moment he pull his gun out in momentarily insanity and injure you and kills your wife be course you made a creative move in the traffic, just be course he had access to a gun and didn?t think for ? a second, and your life had taken a change, his to. This in no fantasy this happens everyday, normal people, doing catastrophical things, just be course they have access.

I know this is a non claimable mountain be course of the cultural differences, but i sometimes take challenge only with good intentions that are more dreams. :-). I hope you are aware of the extreme responsibilities you have owning guns, when your around them and when your aren?t, but someone els are, that shouldn?t.

I?m aware, it might just be me ...............

I like living in a country where this can happen: http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/Man_shoot...ling_1.html?d=s

Plus, in my home state of New Hampshire, anyone is allowed to legally own machine guns and grenades.
