    Guns aren’t banned in any EU countries I know of. That’s a strawman by American gun control opponents.
    In fact, most of Europe has found a good balance of regulations regarding firearms. Where I live (Germany), getting a gun license is about as difficult and costly as getting a drivers license.
    And the Czech Republic even has a right to own guns in the constitution.

      is about as difficult and costly as getting a drivers license.

      Note that German driver’s licenses are notoriously difficult to get by the standards of most other countries, especially the US.

        OK, but almost everyone is able to get it and no one would claim cars are banned in Germany.
