Absolutely not, I'm all for defunding the police but if your idea of a peaceful country doesn't involve someone owning and being willing to defend themselves with firearms you're just living in a fantasy where crime just magically doesn't exist.

In my part of the world, people grow up just fine without owning firearms. This whole gun worship is mostly a US thing.

In your part of the world there's no cops, no one owns firearms, and there's just no crime?
