America's biggest problem by far is not the guns. It's that they are a nation, based on it's history, that initially tries to negotiate, but if the other party clearly doesn't want to try and come to terms, well then just use force. America has gotten better at this over time, but will use their military might much sooner than many other first world nation's. When your Country runs like that, the people tend to follow that example. A Country and it's people are like parents and their children. You set an example and they grow around that. If that example is move or get out of the way, they grow up with that mindset, and they live it everyday to some extent. It tends to lead to higher levels of violence, which can lead to events like Vegas. 

Don't essentially agree about everything you said before but that last piece is pure gold. Kudos.
