Dark Knight Rises killings in Aurora

@Kosheh: I don't know how much violence we have in England compared to you, having never been to the US myself. I'd suspect we have less, but I could be wrong. We have a fair amount of knife crime and rapes, almost always in cities and by people lower on the economic scale.

America does seem to be quite a, for want of a better word, "violent" nation. Over the time it has been, it has had a civil war, a revolution, been involved in both World Wars, been one of the super nations in the Cold War and even started several (Korea, Vietnam, War on Terror etc.) And all that is without having some sort of ambitious dictator/ruler (e.g. Napoleon, Hitler, Queen Victoria)
We have had our fair share of war in the UK, but part of that comes from being an island; people want to take us over. We've had Germanic tribes BC, the Romans, Vikings, French, Germans during WWII etc.
All this has been over a much longer time than America's 400 or so years of existence.
