Yes, the other parts of the western world regard America as a most violent nation - because they look at the numbers. In America, if someone 'disses' you, then you have the right to a gun. That attitude is now becoming more prevalent. So prevalent that American school yard massacres get a response called "Yawn".

How did Britain stop schoolyard slaughters? Everyone now carries a gun? A solution advocated by those who deny basic facts and numbers.

Meanwhile, every home in Switzerland does not have a gun. In Switzerland, those who are mentally unstable cannot have a gun. In Switzerland, everyone is carefully vetted.
If we had a country the size of Rhode Island with a population not bigger than large American city, that might be significant.

According to second admendment 'advocates' even the mentally unstable have a constitutional right to guns - even 155 mm howitizers.
That would be total bull crap.
