We're dealing with an onion
Canadians and Swedes own a lot of guns, too. Canadians apparently are closest to the USA in gun ownership. Far less violence, though. But their countries aren't constantly invading other countries and promoting war. Their children aren't as likely to be the children of soldiers used to be invaders. Their children don't watch as violent of t/v and movies as ours, nor listen to as violent a music. Their culture(s) -at least until recently - hasn't been encouraging the dehumanzition of the 'other half' in the way ours has. We have layers and layers and layers of rot in our society that is encouraging violence, and without solving these root problems, people will just find some other way to destroy each other. And I haven't even really touched on how the class war's economic impact has created a perfect environment for violence.
Mass Greed
Tendencies of hierarchial humans. Congress is charged with sharing the wealth thru taxation - then law firms invented the loophole. Blanket 50% tax on uber income, defined as over 1 million annually, made retrograde to 2000. Defund military and build infrastructure across usa.

Class like loopholes implies separateness. If dollar crashes, some humbling is in order. - naw. Nevermore! (I am a dreamer, I know, they got gold stashed off shore).

p/s Yemeni own a lot of guns,
p/s Yemeni own a lot of guns, too. Like the US, they have a lot of mass shootings. Not surprisingly, they are a country that has been war torn for a long time, and to this day continues to be facing the threat of genocide from Saudi Arabia, thanks in part to weapons we have given the Saudi's. So they're sort of the opposite side of the coin, but it will produce similar results - if your people are constantly exposed to violence and lacking outcomes, when life becomes "cheap", violence explodes.
Two Long Comments
A gun culture--as fact, exposure vs inequity equals civil dischord. I cannot remember when usa was not war-mongering. Citizens with guns are not the high kill count, culling collectively from wars and monsters all lead back to weapons sales. usa cannot get a gun law. Agree - we have shot at too many countries. Trade towers ~ we were over due for a reckoning. 20 years of war and we could go bankrupt supporting world during Russian/Ukraine disruptions. Interesting strategy. Indirect warfare.
.
Fear factors, defense, survival are exploding rationales for arming to the hair follicles. Innovations in arms efficiency (faster killing) also a part why usa is up in arms. Who has the biggest gun wins is the mantra against the unarmed, (see rittenhouse). Who will protect the innocent? Answer: No one. Never have. Reference the last 100 war/revolts. See usa angry young men, (see Putin threatenng nuclear blackmail to upstage N. Korea).
.
Loss of status or lack of inclusion are predictors of violence also. Woe to Europe and Asia when hunger precipitated violence. I think N. America can feed itself, S. America has the land and supplies the world so it should be okay. Africa and Islanders collectively may lose millions (drought, sea rise, famine, disease). Canada has us as back-up, EU has usa and Canada. Allies (NATO) not so much - if drought continues world over. A billion could die. Climate and war refugees/ immigrants will be shot (unless they're Ukranean).

Hoping dollar stops slipping. We go and all the dominoes fall down. Likewise, rubles go - economies crumble. Too interconnected. Not too big to fail If too many climates change suddenly. And the big States carry really big guns. I hope we do not shoot ourselves to death.
