I can explain it to you, because I live in a country where firearms are very well regulated. My uncle is the 1 person I have known in my life to own a gun. He lives far out of the city on a large property and he keeps his gun well hidden and I've never seen it. I have probably seen a few guns in a museum cabinet at some time, I suppose, although I can't remember it at all. I guess I must have seen a pistol holstered in a police belt before. I can't remember ever having seen a drawn or brandished weapon in real life, I don't believe that I have ever seen it. I have certainly never seen a gun fired off.
Occasionally, on the news, there is a story about someone getting in some sort of fight. It happens about once or twice a year I think and it is quite a big event. People will talk about it at work, we will talk about it at home. "Did you hear that a man got shot the other day?" Very rarely a police officer fires off a gun at someone, and everyone argues about whether or not it was the right thing to do, and wants to know why the officer didn't use a taser.
There is simply no reason to fear gun violence here. We are all disarmed and we all feel safe about it. I will never be shot at in my life or probably ever see a gun fired off in my life, I have no idea why those things would be anywhere near me. We don't have guns here, so there's nothing to fear. Why would I be afraid of something that happens once or twice a year? I'm far more likely to be in a car accident than ever see a gun fired. But I'm not afraid of car accidents. It's a hazard of life to maybe get in a car accident.
It wasn't always like this here. But everyone just agreed that the change would make things better even if there were some uncertainty involved. It has made things better. Gun violence is not a problem here.
Hope this is a good explanation.
