I don't think it's fair to compare the US to other countries - each country is different when it comes to firearms. In Mexico firearms are illegal, yet gun violence is epic - but that's because of the drug cartels. In Switzerland everyone has firearms and is trained and there is no gun violence. I don't believe the United States can fit in either model.

I've been reading some chatter about arming teachers, which is laughable. I took a look at my kid's teachers this morning and it seems that they are all older men or younger women, the types that have never fired a gun.
