keeveek: Ask me again, and then I will reply ;-)
Demut: I asked what the point of the numbers of Finland and the Czech Republic was.
Oh, I hoped you'd understand.
Access to guns is one of the many factors that describe, or would help describing, free country.
In my country, access to guns is ALMOST restricted only to the authorities. Govt. does that, because govt. wants control. And it is easier to control people who are disarmed.
In many EU countries, and in the EU itself (parliment), officials are trying to disarm their citizens, except some, like Finland and Czech Republic for example.
The right to protect your own house with a weapon is essential, if you want to name any country a free one. Of course it's not the only factor, but one very important.
