Infact it'd be considered insanity down here because there's basically no threat of someone showing up at your doorstep with a 120 round clip assault rifle trying to rob your tv set for a crack hit.
There are plently of guns around but they are regulated and generally in the hands of farmers and registered hunters. Where they are not however easy to get are some angry 21 year old white/black male walking in to walmart and buying a semi automatic assualt rifle over the counter with a very basic criminal check. So that next time he gets disrespected at Wendy's drive thru he can go in to a blind rage and pull it out of the boot of his car and blow 3 people away (not reported as a mass shooting btw).
Bottom line is the 'Merica business dream is in full force with the NRA playing both sides; crims buy guns, 'good' people buy guns: end result gun companies get wealthy at the expense of society and everyone runs around claiming some archaic amendment as justification. It's a perfect example of commercialism....and all these idiots with sub 100 IQs run around spouting the same "it's my right" crap.
When your country normalizes mass shootings as "just part of daily life now" that's a problem...then again 50%+ of people voted for Hillary Clinton so really it's self explanatory.

We don't outlaw things just because our government doesn't think it is a requirement.
When businesses sell stuff to customers they aren't getting wealthy at anyone's expense unless the product is faulty. It is a transaction agreed upon by both parties and we have plenty of competition keeping the prices low.
No candidates received more than 50% of the votes.
You just can't comprehend how awesome America is, you don't get it.
