The point is that no-one in Europe wants to normalize guns the way they are normal in the US. And yet that still seems to be happening.
Men with guns patrolling the streets do not make us safer, and they don't even make us feel safer. And yet it still happens, because of some vague-defined "emergency".

Which is exactly the point I was making, the problem isn't the guns themselves, but the situation that has caused them to become nearly-ubiquitous.
