America is pretty unique with guns compared to other developed countries. Probably from the UK, where carrying a knife could get you on trouble. 2A keeps us gun owners in the sport.

You can get in trouble for carrying a knife here in Sweden too. Unless you can prove you carry the knife as a tool in your job or hobby. Still, that doesn't mean you can carry a knife when shopping at IKEA just because you're a carpenter.
