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!
