Denying the people the right to bear arms ,puts a real kink in the ability to defend one's country.
building a culture denying guns and demonizing guns, you can't expect much support to begin with.
The UN agenda is all about taking guns away, most of these countries are connected to.
Half the people answer in fantasy and the other half ,because they had already some how, done so.
Like there isn't a difference between guns in wartime and guns just chillin' in everyday society.

I would say it's a surprise, but it isn't. All of these countries are completely reliant on the United States and complain about them at the same time. The numbers will change soon enough when the new Germans become willing to fight for the newfound Deutsch caliphate.

Overall only one quarter (25%) of western Europeans would be willing to fight for their country. In contrast, an average of 78% in Muslim countries would be willing to fight for the country. The world average is about 61%.
Why would we fight for our countries when we have you Americans to fight for us?

Yeah. Because the American logistics units will put up a really tough fight against... Whom exactly?

Also, it's Deutsches Kaliphat.

Yeah, the 100th Air Refueling Wing at Ramstein air base is really a deterrent. Also is the 266th Financial Management Center.

According to those clothes worn by Dutch in 16 or something century, which are kept in Taiwan, their height were around 165 cm. Do you conclude Dutch today are shorter than other Europeans by this?

Considering the ferocious U.S. nationalism expressed so frequently in C-D forums, I am very surprised that the U.S. is quite far down on the list at 44%! Talk about turning in the grave, George Washington must be spinning in his grave like a windmill.
