Generally, there is a HUGE split in opinion between Americans and Europeans when it comes to gun control. And I don't think there will ever be any kind of same-ground.

A lot also depends on the attitude of the masses. The gun-friendly culture in the United States is simply too mature and advanced for some random ban to work. There will be outrage and people will feel their freedoms infringed upon if any thing is done to take away these rights. And quite frankly, it is just a waste of time to try to do just that.

That's not the case in most of the EU nations as the various goverments have worked together for many years through many programs to stop a widespread gun-friendly culture from developing in their lands. The respective peoples attitude reflects that progress.

In most European lands, a anti-gun sentiment is part of the collective minds of the society...so when arguments rise as to who is right, it will only come down to heated exchanges due to the vast difference of opinion.

I don't think anyone is on the "wrong."

This is what it all comes down to...two major pools of opinion battling it out. It does not work that way. Most Europeans (and most Indians too) feel a heck of a lot safer in a gun-free society. By no means are they in police states but simply maintain a trust in their government.

Americans were rised in the culture of freedom and the rights so they too have the right to demand whatever they want.
