So you know, Australia has banned just about every gun in the world. Unless you want a little water pistol you are out of luck. Since undertaking the 'Gun Buyback Scheme' violent crime, murders and shootings have increased.

japan has much more dense population than the US, and much much less crime..
I think the lack of US social structure probably has something to do with it.. people at the fringes aren't cared for as much as they are in other countries.. That's a price the US has decided to pay for it's economic dominance perhaps? only a theory anyway.
