That's why no one in america gets it's home robbed right?

If Scots had to choose between guns and heroine, we'd keep our heroine thank you :)

People get robbed because we have a crime problem, not a gun problem. And robberies mostly happen in places that, ironically, have a very constrictive gun policy, like Chicago for example. People don't rob because they have a gun, they rob because they need money. This nonsense gun policy in the "1st world" (we get it, Western Europe is the only place in the entire world) does nothing. Anyways, blame your problems with your heroin addiction on England, ban pictures of guns and pat yourselves on the back for a job not done.

All hail the nanny state.

I think next up on the agenda is regulating diapers. Andrew Robertson and Nicola Sturgeon want to keep Scotland safe and smelling good. #BanPoop

Heroin kills less :D

Europe cares about its people so much it takes away their ability to defend themselves and lets them slowly poison themselves with drugs.

So humanitarian. Clearly they are the ethical masters of the world and we must all march in lockstep.

To be frank, very few countries in Europe have legalised any drugs for fun other than tobacco and alcohol, and you can't kill somebody else with a drug - whoever you kill with drugs, it's fully their fault, not yours, since they consented and said yes, I want to ruin my life with drugs. With guns, there all too often isn't consent.

The point is that the Europeans do a nothing to prevent crime and violence, then pat themselves on the back. Same with the politicians in Chicago and California.

TeamGuns, guns aren't the only thing that can kill you... "Weapon of death" is redundant grammatically and makes no sense.

Airguns aren't weapons, they're toys. They are intended to be fired at people just like throwing a dodge ball at someone. You can kill a baby with just about anything including a dodge ball or an air gun. See shaken baby syndrome.

In a civilised world you dont need to defend yourself. Europe is civilised - America not.

Heroin addicts killing children, so civilized. Africa isn't civilized either probably, the Middle East? No , they're just savages. This Western-Europe Centrism is effing stupid. Criminals have AK-47s in Marseilles, Hungarian politicians refuse to admit refugees based on religion violating international law, Swedish doctors use eugenics on ethnic minorities , Poland lets people get tortured in its borders by the CIA, Ukraine supports Neo-Nazi death squads. So civilized. You'd probably argue that Europeans are more trustworthy with guns too, more than the savage Africans. Let's see what the Europeans did with firearms: Feudal attacks on each other for hundreds of years
Africa: Repelling the Mongols at the Battle of Ain Jalut.
Let's see your Roman Empire, your role model. Killing and enslaving hundreds of thousands and creating a corrupt, autocratic empire. Civilized? Hardly. Athens, your other role model, slaughtering a entire city because they didn't want to join in a war against Sparta. So civilized.

In a civilised world you dont need to defend yourself. Europe is civilised - America not.

lol the truth comes out. Europe still believes in cultural imperialism folks. Go colonize Africa again you dirty supremacists.

Ah, so I can't understand since I'm an uncivilized barbarian. Good to know.

I hope some enlightened Europeans save us one day.

Jai must just be a savage child, where's a Brit? You have to take his rights away and tax him. Make sure you draft him and make him a soldier, though he's against that since it's his religion, just voodoo superstition right? Make sure those gun powder papers are coated with cow fat too, he's just a stupid savage , he won't notice. Oh and make sure you sell opium to Chinese markets , and then attack China when they complain.

It hurts my eyes to read what you said major, please make some spaces in your text, it's unreadable on it's actual form.

Plus, have you ever went to marseilles? It's not like there's criminals in the streets with ak-47s in every corner lol.

Europe is way safer then America, just go check homicide and robery rates, will you?

lol the truth comes out. Europe still believes in cultural imperialism folks. Go colonize Africa again you dirty supremacists.

That's an unfair and, I'll be honest, dumb analysis of the quote. Plus Europe, and America btw, still colonize a lot of countries in the world;

Might as well ban water for being the major cause of drowning. And food for being the major cause of diarrheia.

I can't believe people are actually defending such stupidity. Is Scotland trying to appeal to the scandis and build a welfare state they can't afford to while enacting lame laws such as regulating peeing while standing for being sexist?

The EU has a violent crime rate a third higher than America.

You are no more barbaric than me or Jai or Eklipse.

@TeamGuns - It was satirical. The point is that you can't rant and argue against ethnic nationalism and then believe that Europeans are somehow more advanced/intelligent/better/superior to Americans or any other continent/country just because they have certain laws. That's literally the definition of cultural imperialism, and you trying to deflect upon that truth reveals to a certain extent why the hubris of Europe will be its downfall (its already begun).

The EU has a violent crime rate a third higher than America.

In the US there were 4.8 murders per 100,000 people. That's the lowest murder rate since 1995, when there were 8.1 murders per 100,000 people. Murder rates have almost been cut in half.
However, how does that 4.8 figure compare to Europe? It's abysmal, the US far, far outstrips most of these countries in terms of murder rate. Italy? 0.9. Portugal? 1.2. France? 1.1. This is despite the fact that the United States has long had more people in prison per capita than any other nation. (In fact, the Nethrlands is closing prisons due to lack of criminals). If yu were to start digging into this problem, you'd be shocked at how different approaches to crime can lead to startlingly different outcomes...
