Sure, and you should as well in Sweden.  Statistics show Sweden has a higher
percentage of rapes per 1mm people than the US.

I don't have issues with either.  An extremely high percentage of the people I
deal with are highly successful breeders who both breed and train their dogs
properly.  As far as gun ownership, Sweden is ranked 10th in the world per 100
residents and Sweden's rape rate per 100,000 people is 3rd in the world.  BTW,
the US is ranked 9th. Better lock your daughters up over there.

There are differences in every major country... as I explained above. If you
feel you live in a country with zero crime rate then the only person you're
fooling is yourself.

I have no issue with my healthcare here in the US.  Most it will ever cost me
in a single year is $2,000 out of pocket for any operation anywhere in the
world, even if my stay costs EUR500,000.
