Another factor to be considered is the proper knowledge of the gun owner about gun handling, like Switzerland has, if I'm not mistaken nearly 100% of the population owning guns on the account of their obligatory military service for 2 years for men and 1 year for women and at the end of it they take and rifle with them, so the proper training with the gun is likely a factor. That being said in the US I don't see any short term solution other than stricter gun control,for there is a weird gun culture there that makes people fetishise their guns so much that they wanna create an opportunity to use them
That'd be true if the people owning guns were ones that stood against the state, but if you look at the history of the US you'll see that even where there was a more lax gun control the people who used it to stand against oppression like the black panthers where denied the right to own guns, so as I see the right to bear arms on the US is mostly used by people who echo the oppression of the capitalist system, and mass shooters, that's where I stand from, being an outside observer from another country, so I might be missing a lot, but as I see the most oppressed are still the most killed by guns be them on the hands of citizen or policmen
