Firearms are common place in cultures outside the US. Much of this stereotype actually is down to the larger media coverage in the US.
One point I would like to make: Guns may be legal to an extent in the US. However, it is not legal to murder somebody, the law didn't stop them. While accessibility is certainly a concern, there are statistics that actually show US has less "general" crime than the UK which has vastly higher restrictions on guns. On the other hand, homicide rates are higher in the US, but crime overall is lower. Interesting huh?
As to why somebody would do this - They're cognitive functional is unlikely to be considered "normal".
Don't be a smart arse. My point was that law doesn't stop anybody. Access is what makes the difference.
