Following up on those stats, what countries with as large or larger populations than the US have the same degree of personal liberty?

No doubt, we've always been a pretty violent bunch and we've always had a pretty ethnically and economically diverse population, which to me would present more occasions for violence, if we look at history to predict why people don't always get along.

We've also got a ridiculously sensationalistic media which I think has contributed to number of school shootings. I'm not saying other countries don't; I'm sure they do, but I think the media has play a big role in influencing the student shooters in many of the US shootings.
