America has really lax gun laws and it shows. At least one person a week in the U.S. gets shot by a toddler. Honestly your problem is more to do with mindset. I think somebody described it as the "old fashioned protestant mindset that every man is the master of his own home and that he has the right to defend it by any means." Here in Ireland we have relatively strict gun laws but ever farmer owns a few rifles and shotguns. And violent gun crime and murders are so rare that the police have to send stuff of to England to be tested (not including the odd bit of vigilante justice and some Soviet era guns that are still floating about)
