Can I give you guys some more propaganda in favor of Portugal? 
Around here, you need a permit to own a weapon.
And, on top of that, you need a special permit to carry it out of your property, in public.
I don't know what's required to get such permits, but I'm sure it involves, at least, a psych evaluation and background check.
To my mind, they are similar to driving permits, as both a gun and a car (hmmm, 3 letter words) can be used to kill people.
Around here, in order to get a driver's permit, you need to take, at least, 30 classes on the law about driving - what the signs mean, when to use certain lights, etc... and 30 driving classes with a qualified instructor.
Even so, we find many road warriors around...
