Because it's not a gradual response curve. It doesn't really matter is it 10 guns per 100 people, or 15, if there is a strict gun control policy, and you can't easily get a gun at the age of 18 in a fishing shop. The problem is ubiquity that comes when the society is saturated and there is very little regulations.
yeah I think the real world is more complicated. Like, its not just about numbers, but also how control is implemented and even culture.
But it's also about numbers, it's just not a curve more of a ladder. You can't saturate the society with guns and expect that they will not be a problem because your culture is good and control is implemented. Switzerland just about did it, but there is so many caveats it doesn't even count, and let's admit it, nobody else is Switzerland, so that's an enormous outlier.
I mean, yeah, having good control and a sane culture around it, you couldn't reach USA's sheer number if you tried.
