  i was flabbergasted when i first heard americans have security & armed guards at schools. the closest to that any of the schools i went to had was cameras watching the doors and overweight PE teachers

    We don’t have that either. Best we can do is cops with excessive cowardice.

  Plenty of Western countries with lots of guns that don’t have the same issues with gun violence.

    Not nearly as many guns. No other country even has half as many guns per person as the US. But, even the ones that have a few guns (plus the ones that have almost no guns) have strictly enforced gun control laws, and treat gun ownership as a privilege not a right.

      Almost, if I can believe this Wikipedia article Falkland Islands has just over half as much as the US.

        I can imagine why that might be. But, the Falkland Islands aren’t a country. I would guess that if you go province by province, state by state, territory by territory, you can probably find others with very high gun ownership rates.
