The very obvious answer is to just do a simple comparison of statistics for murder and robbery with GUNS for the US with that of Canada, Europe and Australia. Similar countries, only with MUCH fewer firearms per capita. The US is out of control because of several factors, such as the NRA stoking fear, fear of racial unrest, fear of the government, and a general "Rambo and paintball" mentality. The frontier and cowboy images in cinema and on TV is another factor.
