also wtf is with your actual username?
ok what does 01110010011011110110111101110100 mean in binary one sec
it means root
yeah I just checked
And yes I'm American
hah burger
I wish I had a burger right now
me too.
I was just reading about gun laws in different EU countries
I didn't expect that in so many countries self-defence using firearms is illegal
That's fucking weird
it kind of is in canada but also not
it's "reasonable force"
which means it's dealt by common law so it's a judge who decides whether you were justified
which is why conservatives will be really mad all of the time when it's like "FATHER USES GUN TO DEFEND HIS FAMILY, GET'S CHARGED WITH MURDER"
Yeah, but in a lot of cases you can't even get a license for a gun with purpose of self-defence
but he gets cleared of the charge afterwards
Our far-right always complain about our gun laws, but apparently we have one of the least strict in Europe
austria and switzerland are better
I think finland is ok too
And you can't get a carry permit for them obviously, conealed or open
They have a lot of guns, but they're all are hunting riffles
:If, however, you own firearms for a legitimate purpose – such as target practice or hunting – and you choose to employ them in a self defence situation against a person, and whether or not you would be considered righteous in court, is a can of worms that I am neither qualified nor willing to open. Suffice it to say that, at best, it would be a painful process."
Switzerland recently voluntarily slightly restricted their gun laws and they always were weird, though I think they're rather lease
it's not that painful, you get charged with murder and when the judge figures out the guy who was in your house was trying to rape your daughter he clears the charges
Czech Republic doesn't have strict laws
And that'd be it for EU
There's abundance of weapons, both licensed and unlicensed in former Yugoslavia though
I'm not sure how the situation looks now, but back in the days most of firearms used for illegal ectivities in Europ came form ex-yu
basically you can defend yourself in canada, you *can't* buy a gun for the purpose of self defence but if you're in the country and some people come with knives to kill you and steal your property you can take out the 12 gauge and shoot them and the judge will take your side
you can't open carry though
Bosnia has a funny law, where you can carry registered pepper spray if you're female
Does that really happen though
People comming with knives to kill you and steal your property
I mean
I mean, if you live in the country it could happen at any time. if the police are 30 minutes away yeah
people have been killed on their own country property when there's no police around
Wew
that's a part of why people need guns in the country, that and wild animals
