Is the "problem" with guns and violence in the US caused by the Amendment itself?

I don't think so. I think I agree with Micheal Moore's conclusion that the problem is the culture of fear and paranoia we've nurtured here. We're so afraid that we're going to get robbed or raped or murdered, that we're all on the edge and just itching to use lethal force to defend ourselves against an imagined enemy. In a country where everyone feels that way, is there any wonder that a lot of people actually do it?
