How many Americans have anger issues?

How many Americans have access to guns?

The takeaway would be that an enormous percentage of young or middle aged men are in one of those groups.

Males are half of the population. 18-55 years olds are half of that

If 25-30% of the population is a young to middle aged man, and the bulk of the dangerous people come from them, that implies a problem with society and genetics.
