Ask anybody

I have recently deleted two posts about a different subject. The reason for deleting those posts is that I felt confused about what I wrote but did not feel like I want to put
more thinking into the subject at this time.

In any case in those posts I stated a view that is different from the view usually comes or expected from those speaking against the spread of guns in this country. That shows how my opinion about the subject of guns here comes from the inside and is not a consequence of belonging to any group or an attempt to join any group. But I am not alone in that. In fact, my position against gun ownership is only a sample showing general or wide spread attitude toward guns in an expanded view to where I came from. I heard people stating, in comparison with the situation there, how good it is to be able to express your opinion and criticize the government in countries like this. I have never heard anyone there stating how good it is to be able to buy a gun here or expresses any desire to have a country where gun ownership is allowed. Guns are always viewed as a dangerous thing that shouldn't be allowed and a big negative of this country. Remember, that also comes despite the big impression that things here and in the west generally should be good things. Nevertheless, that impression still couldn't pull up or affect the view toward gun ownership. That shows how strongly the refusal of guns was coming from the inside.

You may find varying stands regarding various issues there that could assign a person more to any political entity here but the lack of feeling of a need for a government that allows gun ownership is a common thing.

I have had a view critical of the gun situation from the first time I stepped a foot in this country more than two decades ago. I started or had a renewed thinking about the subject after I noticed the level of involvement guns have in everyday committed crimes. At the beginning a person new to a place may feel something is not supposed to be as it is but may counter that with the thought that there could be something special preventing the potential of bad consequences of that thing. But then reality may awaken that person and he would realize that while there could be differences in technology and other things, when it comes to anger, hate, jealousy and other emotional feelings all people are similar. He may realize that when something is honestly judged at some place as very dangerous to be allowed because of potential misuse resulted from a human emotion and desire then that probably also applies at the other place because all people have emotions and desires. Coincidentally I was thinking about the subject of gun violence just before when the Colorado attack of 2012 happened which was not even one of the kind of things I had in mind when thinking about the subject.

The availability of gun ownership in this country is not something people in other countries cant reach but something they don't want to reach. Any group can differentiate themselves through bad things if they want.
