Gun control in the U.S.

[Tybobobo]

Here in Ireland farmers with permits are allowed guns. Even An Garda Siochana (the Irish police) mostly use batons and such to deal with criminals. I think some Dublin branches are allowed use guns but don't quote me on that.

It is the same in Norway. Although recently police have been given greater permission to wear arms; although it appears that (although not entirely sure) they will return to keep firearms in their vehicle; instead of wearing them.

Norway have some of the lowest crime rate in the entire world; and the only guns you can get, require a license (you have to take a gun course and prove you are sane), and only for hunting or sports. If I recall (I could be wrong about this part); you cannot even get automated weapons. Simply because you do not hunt with automated weapons. The only purpose of an automated weapon is to kill people. Weapons of war.
