Aaronm, why do you think there is such a huge difference with european countries, that in the US shootings are part of everyday life as opposed to europe?

So uh....Why is it OK to carry in your car but not outside of it? When you are in your car, you can often drive away from a bad situation. Do you think more people are attacked in or out of their cars? Same for the home. How many people are attacked in their homes vs. outside of them? Based on your response, you think people should only have guns when they are relatively safe already.
Why do I think there is such a huge difference between Europe and US shootings? Isn't that blatantly obvious? The top reason being the number of guns in the hands of the citizens is far greater in the US. Another factor would be that, IMHO, the average European is more mature than the average American. I believe that if the gun numbers were equal among the citizens of both Europe & the US that we would still have more shootings here than there based solely on the societies we live in.
