I've always know that it's the scared dog that's most likely to bite you while it's the tough bad ass dog that's more likely to give you lots of warning. It seems to me people are a lot like that. A fucked up coward will go on a murderous rampage while a bad ass redneck won't mess with anyone unless they mess with him first.
So I can see it being a case of *** If you're weak then you're fucked in the head and if you're fucked in the head then you one day you might go on a shooting spree.***

There is a old phrase from the wild west days...
God made all men, but Sam Colt made all men equal....
Your theory of big nosy rednecks vs weak doesn't really fly in fact it can possibly be part of the problem. If a weaker person feels threatened by a bigger person, he is not going to try and fist fight him he's going to use a weapon..
Guns make everyone equal in a sense and make it much easier to enforce your will on others who threaten you..
So the question becomes why are people feeling so threatened that they reach for a gun..
