RE: A Discussion About Guns
Why are you asking if it happens in developed nations? As if crazy people CAN be prevented from doing CRAZY things by words on a piece of paper! Wait, it's indeed crazy to be compelled by WORDS on a piece of paper:
Good men don't need laws and Evil man will act regardless of the law.
How do you explain the case of Australia after it's mass shooting in 1996 and subsequent ban on long guns?

People have improvised their Spree Killing, hardly anything has changed, those that are easy victims still fall prey because guns are villainized, which means only those with guns (aka a police who goes rogue, a military armorer going bonkers) can do so.
Preventive measures would be arming everyone to the teeth and educating everyone in their use, but the only thing that you'll be preventing is 99% of crime and without that what good are cops and armies.
Because supposedly America is a developed nation. You are talking about anarchy and things out of fictional tales.
Right, Australia still has problems, but what they don't have is a gun problem and that is the issue at hand in this discussion.
Do you really think that arming everyone to the teeth would create a peaceful and working society? DO you think you'd feel safe walking around at night knowing everyone is packing weapons in their pants. Do you think that countries where citizens don't own weapons are living in a police state?
