#1 I have often wondered if gun crime in Europe is covered the same way gun crime is covered in US Gun Free Zones, like Chicago, where gun crime just isn't reported unless it is so fantastic it has to be, and then is buried as quick as possible.

It was a number of years ago, I believe in France, the official legal directions for a home invasion was to go sit in the corner, wait for the robbery to end, then file a report. Resistance was prosecutable. In return, robbers no longer needed illegal weapons like a firearm to ensure a safe robbery and could show up with an legal item improvised weapon, like a hammer. No gun crime.

and/or

Victim: he pulled a gun on me and took my money
Police: unlikely, guns are illegal. Probably a prop or toy. (fills out report as such).
