        The Onion should copy the White House and just start scribbling through the mass shooting article headline they repost each time with red crayon.

      I want to stress that it has absolutely nothing, I repeat, nothing at all to do with gun “culture” and easy access to guns.

      Nothing at all. Promise!

        Unfortunately I think it runs deeper than guns being around. As people point out, nearly every house in Switzerland has a gun, but they have little gun violence.

        Though you’re right that America’s loose gun culture makes the underlying problem ten times worse.

          nearly every house in Switzerland has a gun, but they have little gun violence.

          Totally different situation because most of these guns are from reservists in the army which are stored without ammo. So they are literally unusable unless you happen to get ammo for it.
