SO 'only in America', eh? Only if you don't know what you're talking about, of course:
In response to the horrible mass shooting at Virginia Tech on Monday, overseas leaders as well as many Americans have condemned the "gun culture" of the United States. Perhaps these overseas leaders and American citizens would be less hard on our country if we discuss what has been happening in other countries.
And it's even worse than what Steve Sanek says: he forgot the Dunblane massacre, I think. John @ Iberian Notes has a fairly long list; too bad there are not links, but nevertheless it's instructive.

UPDATE. John says he got the data from Mayhem.net, which he linked. True.
