Is it though? Let’s see if you have money in the EU and someone approaches you with a threatening manner what will happen? Your security will neutralize the threat.
If you’re a government official and someone walks up to you in a threatening manner what will happen? Your security will neutralize that threat.
If you’re a regular person and someone walks up to you in a threatening manner what will happen? You will be stabbed to death and if you fight back it’s racism
Neutralise yeah but not with guns or permanent bodily harm. Hold you on the floor till the cops come maybe.
I don’t think many people have full time security in Europe though, not even politicians.
Harassment is like trowing a stinky egg or yelling. You will get fined for doing that and maybe a little jail.
Did some quick research on harassment of politicians in Europe.
“During the 2024 European elections campaign, there were serious incidents in several countries. Nevertheless, acts of physical violence remain isolated and less frequent in the EU than in many other parts of the world”
They all have CPOs (close protection officers) and the wealthy have private security. You just don’t know because you never see the elites, most Europeans never see the true rich
Swiss Federal council members (7 highest executive) are known to ride the train. Probably with their assistant i imagine because they probably work while travelling
I think it’s a good argument. Is it not the truth that Europeans in power get on the spot protection while those that don’t have any power are forced to be sitting ducks from random acts of violence? So much for equality…
Is it? It’s how it was explained to me in Texas and it opened my mind up greatly. I think if more people took gun classes they would understand the world differently
No it’s “kill or be killed” mentality. The gun gives you ultimate protection but ultimate responsibility as well. A legal gun owner will be the most responsible person you know!

Meh never trust government propaganda

You’re just copying and pasting your shitty argument to everyone that replies? True sign of a winner.

It’s a shit argument that has nothing to do with the original comment.

Jesus fucking christ.
That’s an interesting way to say “develop a mental illness”

That is not a healthy mentality.
Yea my instructor was old school so I’m sure they don’t teach it like that anymore but think of it as a realist.
