America is free like other countries, wealthy like other countries and the media has negative influences on the youth like other countries but why only in America people kill each other so much?

That's not a gun problem, it's a people problem.

America has more guns per person than any other country.
In most European countries, you can't buy military or police weapons; hunting and sport weapons are tightly controlled - like you gotta prove you're not psycho every once in a while.
So when people go mad, they attack others with knifes or sticks, which are way less letal.

We make a lot of movies and TV programs that emphasis violence. Our news media emphasis paranoia because it sells news. And many American fantasize that they are still cowboys at heart. Plus there are the conspiracy groups who think they will become slaves of the government is their guns are taken away. I just find, as a whole, American are just more paranoid then other nations.

It's too easy to get weapons into the United States.When guns are easily accessible,they are bound to get into the wrong hands.
