i don't know, to me, owning a gun or guns doesn't scream freedom to me. my friend on facebook recently posted a "someone go to the shooting range with me" others responded, why do you need someone to go, his response, "it's the policy, so people don't kill themselves" i found that extremely laughable because how would 2 people make a different if one had a gun.
also, regarding illogical thinkings, Ad Populum aka the fallacy Appeal to Popularity
example -
1 - Most people approve of X (have favorable emotions towards X).
2 - Therefore X is true.
and just because other countries are more lenient by stating the facts something like "everyone over at xxx countries has a gun" does not make a logical reason that to own a gun is a good or even a right choice.
