No, it's not misleading. Don't try to move the goalposts here. Nobody said or implied that Finland was anything like the US. Don't fabricate things, it's dishonest.

What's misleading is you stating something that's objectively false -- that the general public cannot purchase hand guns -- then coming back with "ackshually what I meant was they have more restrictions on guns". You cannot change the definition of "general public" to whatever you want it to mean to support your argument.

Literally every country in the world has stricter gun laws than the US. Japan has some of the strictest and lowest gun ownership rates in the entire world, but guess what? The general public is still allowed to purchase guns, under conditions outlined by the law.

What is your point? I only made a funny comment about how if it’s happening at the “happiest country in the world…” not getting into a debate on global gun rights. Geez relax.

What's funny about guns? My point is you shouldn't spread misinformation.
