1.Switzerland 45.7
2. Finland 32
3. Sweden 31.6
4. Norway 31.3
Here's your list of top 4 European countries with highest number of guns per capita. Especially hunting rifles are extremely common here, but normal pistols and such is not that hard to get either if it's for your hobby.
Regardless if it's Sweden or Norway, the amount of guns in the country compared to people is still extremely high, regardless of the gun laws. I'd also like to point out that in the past 10 years, Finland has had 2 school shootings, and one public shooting that I can remember. Norway had the largest public shooting I can remember. Sweden I can't remember anything major.
PS. I always argue with numbers I can base my opinion on. Not just on what I
feel is the case. Perhaps you should google more numbers.
EDIT: Here's some interesting statistics on gun violence(though it doesn't track all countries):
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_mur_wit_fir-crime-murders-with-firearmsNotice how Sweden and Switzerland are surprisingly high on the charts, despite lack of truly organized criminality. Finland has about 20-25 murders per year with firearms, iirc.
EDIT EDIT: I feel like I need to clarify my position. I'm very neutral in the gun debate. But the facts are that generally in countries with a lot of guns, the murders are done with guns(and often not always, have high murder rates). Personally I think I should have the right to a gun. I do not have much trust for other people to own guns.
