Or maybe it IS! tied to firearms. Look at the little dip in violent crimes in 2008/2009...

Just think, how would YOU behave if you knew nearly everyone had a firearm on their person? Would you cut people off in traffic as often? Yell at someone for taking too long at some task? It would make our society much more polite, I believe. Further, exactly how long do you think you would last on a shooting-spree on a college campus if every student and professor who wished to own a firearm and carry it was doing so? Yeah. Probably not nearly as long as some of those tragic events lasted. Nor as damaging.
