woow, hold your horses cowboy :) I suppose you are refering to me with "all" foreigners?..(since I am the only non-American who posted in this thread)
But if you would read my post carefully, I was not judging, let alone be "self-righteous"
I actually was trying to understand it. I even thought it had to be something historical that is now part of the "American culture" if it is so deeply rooted.
So who am I to be self-righteous and tell a big nation like the USA what to do, right? :)

ow, maybe a wiser option: having no fire arm in the house in the first place = no risk at all of anybody getting shot...
