I think some of these gun nuts just want somebody to tell them how proud they are that they have managed not to kill somebody with their gun. Have to pat them on the head, and give em a lolipop.
These things are not mutually exclusive. Issues with guns can be related to both the amount of them and our views towards the use of violence.
Like most societal problems, there are multiple causes.

I was a bit confused by the cartoon. Unless the football coach had some sort of role in the shooting, it seems to be an incredibly mean political cartoon.

Several years ago, prior to PA increasing the number of hunting licenses sold in my region, a near by town actually hired a team of snipers to come in and take a bunch of deer out because they were getting overrun by them.
Yup. That was done in parts of Northeastern PA as well.
Hell, I saw deer in Stockholm, Sweden ffs. I'm not sure that means that there are a ****load of deer in rural Sweden though. I mean, I saw a fox in central London around Christmas this year.
