You can’t protect innocent people by disarming innocent people.
Its a hard sell to claim you are making people safer by not letting them have self defense weapons that criminals would use aga8nst them without fear of consequences.
I don't think the EU considers indigenous populations full of white people to be "innocent".
As in the US, white people are to be considered racists due to the color of their skin, not the content of their character/behavior/record.
The only example of a gun collector in the EU I’ve ever seen is the one I saw in the movie “Lock, Stock, and two Smoking barrels”.
