    I live in Amsterdam, guns are illegal here. Ofcourse, like in every country where guns are illegal, it is possible to get one. Do I feel unsafe when I walk the streets, knowing I don't have a gun and someone around me, might have one? Nope...

    The crime/kill rates here are waaaay less then in the US.. I really believe it is because we are prohibited to carry a gun.
    How many times has it been that a kid kills a a lot of other kids/teachers at school in the US in the last 10 years?? I lost count..
    I can only compare it to the Netherlands and can only count one.. A boy shot his teacher. Ofcourse, the US is 100 times bigger (if not more) than the country I live in... But still...

    Personally, I don't think I would feel much safer knowing everyone around me carries a gun.. Too many crazy people to trust with one..
    I know, even a pen or a paperclip can kill someone.. And yes, if you are a Myth Buster of SFA you can build your own gun..

    But what do I know, I live in a city where weed/hasj is legal and I'm loving it!

    Quite a few people there have done it.

    Another place where building of firearms is rather commonplace.

    People have been building functional firearms since the 1500's with hand tools. Why would you suggest that someone with a modern machine shop and access to quality steels would be incapable of fabricating a firearm?
