I find it's more about fundamental individual freedoms in the US vs statistical best outcomes in the EU. If removing the right to self defence makes Europeans statistically 10% safer then it's a good move and damn the people who are left defenceless. Likewise in the US it's thought to be better to have the right to defend yourself even if that makes society overall a bit more dangerous.
