Europe has a population that’s smaller, more homogenous, and highly educated. It wouldn’t make a difference if guns were completely legalized there. People who are highly educated and have high-incomes are statistically less likely to own a firearm. That’s why gun ownership rates in states like MA, CT, and VT are some of the lowest in the nation.
Just goes to show that gun control is nothing more than classism propped up by wealthy people who live in gated-communities.

Going to be funny when you’re being mugged, you scream for a woman to help you, and she refuses because you’re a beta soy boy.

If I’m interpreting your question correctly, my answer would be “why not”?

In America we have the rare species of the NAPA ( North American Pavement Ape) they do not know how to act in the society they live in.

If nobody in the U.S. had a gun, there would still be a lot of murders. People would be stabbed, strangled, poisoned, burned alive, etc. Liberals would demand common sense knife control.

The USA. We have a certain 13% that Europe really doesn't have to deal with for the most part.

I have to say I’ve never heard anyone being afraid of the British invading again.
Something tells me you, yourself are obese and mad you can’t afford a gun or don’t know how to use them. You probably break out in a sweat when using a pair of scissors.

Switzerland has some of the most permissive gun ownership laws in the world, and they are estimated to own about 27 firearms per 100 residents. They have a murder rate of 0.5 per 100,000.
To compare to the US: we own about 120 firearms per 100 residents. Our murder rate is about 6.4 per 100,000.
I'd say guns are super easy to get in the USA, and only "very easy" to get in Switzerland. Despite this, we have about 13 times their murder rate.
But even that's not a fair comparison, because a murder rate of 0.5 is among the lowest 1/3 or so in the world. In other words it's hard to have a major nation with a murder rate any lower than what Switzerland has, just because of the natural tendencies of a sizable group of people to have some bad ones who do bad things. Their murder rate is basically as low as you can have it. It's about the same as what China reports (assuming you can believe China's numbers), and as you'd expect in China it's extremely difficult to legally own a firearm as a private citizen.
So, gun ownership by itself is not the explanation.

There’s a huge correlation between obesity and gun ownership.
You don’t need a gun in Europe. You also don’t need a gun in South Korea, Japan, and a bunch of other countries. It’s just reality.

I love guns. I don’t wear tinfoil hats. I don’t think the British are invading again. I’m also too old to be drafted so I would not be able to fight, but if asked to I would give it all I had. Most gun lovers I know do not fit your description. So, you pretty much suck.

Europe would definitely be safer in peacetime, but they'd just war a lot more in the meantime.

With all of the "imports" in the last 10 years, I'd say it wouldn't be long before Europe over took us.
