It's actually colossally easier to get a gun in the USA than in Serbia. I don't deny that the Serbs like guns, though. It's been a tradition ever since the Osman conquest of Serbia in the 15th century, and remained so after the liberation in the 19th century, because liberty was bought and maintained with the force of arms. During the communist period in Yugoslavia, after WWII, military service was compulsory for guys (ironically there was a greater danger from the USSR than from the USA, because Tito didn't want Yugoslavia to join the communist international (and thus effectively become Moscow's vassal), and after the Tito-Stalin split, the USSR held about a million soldiers on the Hungarian-Yugoslavian border; being relatively small, Yugoslavia had to compensate its lack of numbers somehow), and everyone had to know how to fire a weapon. Even schools had, I've heard, a supply of a couple of firearms so that kids could learn how to shoot. That was abolished a few years ago, but the chaos of the nineties' civil war still remains in the memory of many. Every second person had a gun those days because they didn't feel secure without one. I suppose that many of those still exist and work.
