Well there certainly are a hell of a lot of guns in the USA [registered and known about I believe three for every person; unknown weapons likely several time that]...but it is not just the weapons - it is the laws; the attitudes toward weapons use and the mentality of many with those weapons....and finally the example the country itself sets on how to 'settle' a 'situation' [i.e. most often with violence and deadly force]. Its a mess.
