The USA’s problem isn’t simple availability, it’s the fetishisation of guns as symbols of freedom. The idol-like status of firearms in American culture, coupled with their ready availability, is a lethal mix.
Other countries have comparable levels of firearms ownership without the same level of firearms murder. Switzerland, for example - almost every household has a rifle. It’s not such a problem for them because they all go through national service so they have a somewhat healthier image of what a gun is for.
