Perhaps. I guess my larger point is more that the US's lax gun control is a symptom of their culture, and not the cause of it.
Changing laws is the easy part, but changing the culture that produces these kinds of acts at the rate it does is much, much tougher. The reason these things happen far less in Canada isn't because guns are harder to get; it's because Canada produces less psychos who are obsessed with guns and violence that will act out like this.
