Comparing the United States to Europe or anywhere is else is foolish. Different circumstances, different society, different culture. The United States widely being considered the 'top' country in the world, while also having their hands involved in nearly every military conflict on the globe also makes them a target. Additionally, the United States has a drastically larger population than most individual European countries and several more large-scale cities and also borders more dangerous countries than a majority of Europe. This doesn't begin to address geographic differences and the significantly shorter amount of time that the country of the United States has existed. It's easier for Australians to ban guns, they're an island in the middle of nowhere and have 23 million people total. That's pretty much equivalent to the state of Texas in population.
You can find examples on BOTH sides of this argument. Switzerland has very open gun laws and has virtually no issues. Australia has very strict gun laws and has virtually no issues.
The real issue at work here is simple and straight-forward. Do you as a human being, have the "right", the "freedom" to protect yourself and your family? In my opinion, that's the only question that needs to be asked. Everyone should have the right to protect themselves and should not be denied that. Especially, not by some politicians who are protected themselves by armed guards and their families and children have armed guards watching them at all times.
