Its not just the guns, its the whole nature of white, anglo saxon based societies (america leading the way, with britain et al rapidly catching up).
Most of the world has very liberal gun laws.
There is something peculiar to the unforgiving, terribly fearful and vengeful societies in the u.s., britain and a handful of other nations with a similar leaning that lends itself to producing large scale acts of terrible violence.

I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place." - Winston Churchill, 1937 --{ORLY?}--
