murderous frenzies by gun-toting maniacs are a particularly American form of madness.

Murderous dictators are the form of madness of the rest of the unarmed world.

I'd rather be a gun owner than a victim.

Exactly.

Also add tyrannical warlords, murderous tribal bands, rampaging thugs, hordes bent on ethnic cleansing, etc., etc.

Yep. 1994. Genocide in Rwanda. 48,000 dead in the first 24 hrs. Primary weapons: farming implements. Between April and July of that year, over 800,000 dead by the time the butchers stopped because they were too tired to continue swinging a machete. Somebody please lecture me again about how bad we are because we have guns...
