While firearms are rarely seen in other countries, U.S. citizens have the freedom to own multiple guns. As a result, gun violence and mass shootings are more common in the U.S. According to Galea, a key factor is the sheer number of firearms — Americans own more guns per capita than any other nation. In recent years, shootings at festivals and schools have sadly become routine.
