Why are we talking about guns? The OP topic is about knocking the door. I brought gun (the one that I do not have) into discussion to only indicate that it can be quite scary.
As for guns, it is too simplistic to blame gun violence to gun legality. It is more cultural thing than anything else, because there are countries with large legal ownership of guns, where gun violence is significantly smaller.
For example, in US, 45% of households have guns, similarly in Findland about 40%. Findland however does not have anything close to US in gun violence.
I did not bring my gun when I was checking what is going on is because I do not have one. But at that moment I really wished I had.
OP brings up guns which is why I mentioned them.
You are btw correct in your “it’s a culture” argument but that doesn’t change the facts. Finland doesn’t have high gun ownership because people buy them at the supermarket btw, they just take their gun home after serving their conscription term. Same with Switzerland btw.
