I totally understand. Europe currnelty seems much less safe than it was 20 years ago, but I haven't heard of too many attacks in NL.

Some of the safest places in the US are the areas with the least gun control. It makes sense if you tend to see most humans as well meaning rather than malicious.

If I could snap my fingers and make every gun on the planet disappear I might, but there's no putting the cat back in the bag.
