What makes America so gun friendly? That would be the 2nd Amendment, the right to keep and bear arms. You are opening a can of worms here. Guns don't kill people; people kill people. A gun is just one of many potential instrument(s)(weapons) used in a situation. I can't think of any incidents where a gun discharged all by itself without the involvement of a human that resulted in a loss of life. (now that I say that I am sure someone will try and prove me wrong) I agree with the quote "All guns are capable of being used in crime." But then so are knifes, cars, forks, screwdrivers, fertilizer mixed with other chemicals, etc. I hope you see my point. Bottom line: Don't put the blame on guns for the behavior of their owner. Just like it is not the vehicles fault that the driver was drunk one morning and ran into a school bus killing 5 children and injuring 12.
