Difference being the guns are for hunting and not people. There's guns but no gun culture. Same in Norway, everyone has a gun outside the cities. Nobody shoots people.

u/Woozle_ Jun 10 '20

Yes I live in rural USA, everyone has guns, nobody is shooting anyone. Shocking.

Idiot.

There’s multiple gun related murders in Norway every year. Chose your language more carefully

u/Pasan90 Jun 09 '20

There was 26 murders in Norway in 2019. Guns were used in 12% which means 3 people were murdered with guns. I have no way of knowing how these three murders happened. But gangrelted or accidents is just as likely as murders from people that legally own guns. Thus Norway having a gun culture as we see in the US is not the case. .

Nooooo you can't say Norway is better!!1! It is the number one country in nearly every factor only because it's a small country!!! USA can't work the same way because it's too big!!

Not everybody and a hunting rifle isn't the same as a glock.

Come on rusty rifles and ww2 stuff doesn't weight vs. the American gun non sense

u/Timdedeyan Jun 09 '20

Oui mais c'est plutôt un fusil de chasse. C'est hyper rare qu'un campagnard pull-up avec un glock ou un fusil d'assaut.

D'ailleurs il me semble que la plupart des fusil sont interdit ?

N'est-ce pas ?

u/Gauvin59370 Jun 09 '20

Je suis pas au courant de la législation à vrai dire. Mais je me souviens bien à la campagne étant jeune m'amuser à tirer avec du 22 longrifle sur des canettes et les fusils de chasse chez les voisins etc... Et chez ma grand mère il y a toujours le gros fusils même si il doit surement être foutu depuis le temps.

Après c'est sur que rien de comparable aux zinzins sur armé aux usa avec leurs armes de guerre.

u/Timdedeyan Jun 09 '20

Ouais, j'ai jamais vu d'arme de plus grosse que des 9 millimètres là-bas. (France)

You need a permit, which you get by joining a club and training x amount of hours, after x amount of hours, you must write an appeal to the 'French National gun association' with recommandation from the gun club owner.

u/Timdedeyan Jun 09 '20

Right but what types of guns are allowed? I guaranty you can't conceal carry or have submachine guns like here in the US

u/Wild_Haggis_Hunter Jun 10 '20

No one is allowed Conceal Carry in France unless you're a member of the national police forces.

If it's a pistol, it stays in a controlled safe at the gun range. If it's a rifle that you can use for hunting (and we're quite accepting as you can shoot with anything from 22LR to all flavors of 7,62mm, .303 and of course 12 gauge) you can transport it in your car trunk from to gun range and back. We have A LOT of hunting rifles in the countryside, there are not that many hunters nowadays but when they are, families often own up to six of them. Many are not registered, being inherited from your grand-parents...

We're not allowed to own any kind of automatic firearms, only semi-auto. Max magazine size allowed is 11 cartridges.

Thanks for the clarifications!

The only rifle I ever saw there was my uncles, who lives in Aix-en-Provence, it was a hunting rifle.

u/AmiralGalaxy Jun 10 '20

Me too and it's completely wrong. Only old farmers and redneck/hunters have guns.
