They are just the means of execution. The difference in the US is Greed and the struggle to achieve wealth. Look at the root of the problem and not the resources or catalyst.
Ya kinda summed it up - bluntly

Only my and based only on what I see - there are two types of problem:

(a) People going crazy as we have seen today. That is not predictable and even the most highly qualified/trained owner of a weapon can turn on others.

(b) Second is more related to what you said - greed. Basically offenses to acquire "wealth" - armed robberies, drugs trafficking etc. The latter will kill each other and anyone around them who they may consider a potential threat. They have money and want more and nothing will stop the greed/killings. Check the list on death row - they may have been drug dealers, but they got convicted for killing people.

The second group is prob the main problem - tho in the process, others end up being armed to "defend themselves" and, will also kill each other, either in error or in an unpredictable unstable mental condition. It's a problem
