Typical TM see-what-we-want-to-see-ness. It's clear that whoever wrote "While some focused blame only on the gunman, world opinion over U.S. gun laws was almost unanimous: Access to weapons increases the probability of shootings" has ever seen Michael Moore's "Bowling For Columbine." In that film he makes the point that Canada has almost exactly the *same* percentage of gun ownership per population as the US, but does *not* have anything even *close* to America's problems with gun-related violence. It's not the guns, it's their owners. Americans use their guns to kill people with because they're Americans and that's just what Americans DO. If they didn't have access to guns they'd use knives and if they didn't have access to knives they'd use sticks and clubs and their own fists.
