It is interesting to compare gun ownership, armed cops, etc., with the various countries.
One item JoeN brings up is the USA being ruled by tyrants at one point in our history (recall our War of Independence?). The irony of this is that had we continued to be part of the British Empire then slavery may well have been abolished peacefully 30-50 years before our Civil War and, like New Zealand, today the USA would be a wholly independent country. Entertaining to think about the "what ifs".
