Only one third of Americans own a gun.
It’s a hardcore lunatic fringe supported by a massive industry lobby and propped up by weak right wing politicians representing rural areas with grossly inappropriate influence vs population.
It’s an easy touchstone to say it’s “America”. But the reality is that the vast majority are as appalled as you are.

Most of the other 2/3rds have easy access to the 1/3rds guns though, because they are spouses or children of the gun owner. And if they don’t, they could easily go buy what they need today and start firing into crowds of people tomorrow. 100% of Americans have easy access to mass amounts of guns.
