America has a hero fetish and a love for vigilantism, and a toxic application of personal responsibility and hatred of government solutions. We love stories of a rebel taking matters into his own hand.
Not surprisingly this attitude contributes more to shootings than to preventing them.
Someone telling you a good guy with a gun is the only thing stopping a bad guy with a gun is just someone trying to sell two guns.

The rest of Europe is similar. The USA has a murder problem.
