Notes

1. What are your thoughts on the findings of this survey?

My thoughts on the findings of this survey are that most of the people that took part in it think that some places are less safe than they used to be. The only places that became more safe are the airports which improved their security systems over the time.

2. Do you find it surprising that 42 percent of Americans own a gun or live with someone who does? Why? Why not?

I don't really find it surprising that so many Americans owns a gun. In that society where guns are allowed some people are just afraid and having a gun makes them feel a bit safer. Of course there are individuals that are just waiting for opportunity to shoot someone but I think mostly guns are bought to self defense.

3. Have you ever shot a gun? If so, please share your experience. If not, would you like to?

I've never shot a gun, but I think it would be a good experience to try it or even learn how to do it properly. I'm not a fan of having a weapon but using it in for example in live-threatning situations when someone pulls it out against you - it could be useful thing to know.

4. Do you think that your country's gun laws are strict enough? Please explain your answer.

In Poland people are not allowed to have normal weapons in their home. At least as far as I know (haha). As I said before I'm not a fan of gun access for everyone and I think it's fine as it is now that only officers and rest of national security services are allowed to have them.

5. In your opinion, what should people have to do before they are allowed to buy a gun? Why do you think so?

In my opinion, in order to get an access to buy a gun people should take a part in psychological tests and get a proper training on how to use it. Even though it should be enough I wouldn't vote for gun access in Poland, I think it's the opposite way to make the country safer.
