In martial arts they teach you the 5 steps. Roughly translated here
1) control the situation

I worry much more about someone who just because they have a gun, jumps from step 1 to 5. Seems to happen on a regular basis.
To often what should have been a shouting match, or at the very most a fist fight,. turns into someone dead. And the shooter having to live with that for the rest of his or her life.
It's not the guns so much as it is the person that has one. Guns allow you to kill from a distance. People are mad at something else waiting for one little insult, then they apply deadly force.
I worry more about some "crazy" in CG than a bad area of town
I'm not sure I follow your train of thought here... how is this in any way relevant to the OP's question?
