Guns are not the problem in themselves. Other countries do just fine with free gun laws: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_Switzerland https:

  > To carry a firearm in public or outdoors (and for a militia member to carry a firearm other than his issued weapons while off-duty), a person must have a gun carrying permit (German: Waffentragbewilligung, French: permis de port d'armes, Italian: permesso di porto di armi; art. 27 WG/LArm), which in most cases is issued only to private citizens working in occupations such as security.[6] It is, however, quite common to see a person in military service or a sport shooter to be en route with his rifle, albeit unloaded. The issue of such exceptional permits are extremely selective (see #Conditions_for_obtaining_a_Carrying_Permit).

  There are significant differences between US and Swiss gun laws though. In particular, actually carrying a gun is typically not allowed. In Switzerland, a gun is something you keep in your house and carry to the firing range or with you on your hunting trip, and that's it. This is a huge difference in both mentality and legislation; the "free gun laws" in Switzerland are not the same "free gun laws" as in many US states.
