Or perhaps because they have mandatory military service, which includes firearms training, gun violence isn't a problem simply because more people are better educated as to the safety protocols.
I think another issue is that the shooter was able to gain access to the weapons not only because his mother had them in the house, but because they weren't locked up. I own a $200 safe from Canadian Tire(required by law), and there is no way anyone is getting in without a key, or some other serious kind of hardware.
Anyone that is familiar with gun safety, and has half a brain does the same.
