Summary: 

Many people in this debate have suggested that absence of gun control
in the US is not responsible for the number of killings in the US. In other
words, if people in the US didn't have guns there would be more murders
with knives, clubs etc. The implication of this is that the US culture
is more oriented to murders and violence than other Western countries.

This is a generality which seems to me to be absurd. Could it be that
the iresposible few in the US are more iresponsible than the equivalent
in the Europe? If so why?
