To be fair there are countries with a shitload of guns where this doesn’t happen. This is mostly US being a shithole.

At compared to the other western countries, the gun rights in the US are a huge difference to almost all others. Switzerland is the one big exception I can think of, partly because of the huge shooting history / culture (which is often still actively celebrated) and because soldiers can take a private weapon to home (which had the original sense that in case of war, they could directly have a gun).

Yeah, I actually suspect it’s not guns, but the US gun culture itself.
