Pondered this for many dark hours. We are a violent country. Most are. Maybe all are. The North and South American Indians were slaughtering each other before we got here. We brought better killing technology.
Whatever killing our second amendment hath wrought, other countries where guns were and are illegal have made us look like amateur killers. Stalin and Mao killed millions without firing a shot. Starvation is no better way to die than gun shot.
Humans are by nature sociopaths. It takes a lot of indoctrination to overcome this.
