What happens if you are caught with a gun in the Netherlands?
Nobody can have a gun? Hunters? Gunsmiths? Collectors?
I bet you have more stabbings in the Netherlands than we have. Id rather be shot than stabbed multiple times.

I was serious... it's a pretty cool gun too, the most powerful allowed
Anyway, you can have a gun but you need a license. A shop in my hometown sells different things, from magnums to semi-automatic weapons. You need to join a gun club first, learn to shoot with a gun from the club, then after a year they give you a sheet that you can take to the police. They'll then track your history and if you're clean you get a gun permit.
Still, the rules are very strict. I like guns but I don't need a real one - Holland is very safe overall, a gun would only increase my risk... The second you pull it, the situation always escalates and puts you in a lot of risk, so that's why I'm against private gun ownership.
That, and the idiot part.
