It's all about the access to firearms.
Other countries have easy access too, so no, that is not simply it. Look at Switzerland for example, where you can take your military service weapon home.
Military are trained to use it. Part of the issue in the United States is the lack of quality training for civilians and improper background checks. We should be checking for mental health disorders and other red flags like domestic violence and criminal activity.
So it is not all about the access?
The military service part is affecting the "access"
"your MILITARY SERVICE weapon"
Yes, it's about access.
/facepalm
Try to keep up champ.
They literally already do that
The access isn't as easy at all. It's also the culture though. Nobody buys guns for fun or to show off, they aren't toys, there are barely any gun ranges and you don't bring your kid to it.
You maybe have a gun for hunting, it isn't an assault rifle and you only pull it out when you do go hunting.
