It's odd to me that a country with such intense focus on the individual lacks a culture of personal responsibility.
What a ridiculous generalization, but I realize we do that a lot in the CE. Of course there is a culture of personal responsibility, like anywhere else. That's the whole thing about guns though. You can be more absolutely responsible 99% of the time, but get drunk/nuts/sad/angry enough to make your trigger finger wiggle and it doesn't matter. Enough people have guns -> enough ill guarded moments -> enough tragedies happen -> it becomes omnipresent in the news -> people generalizing that a diverse country of 320 million people "lack a culture of personal responsibility".
