44. I'd say because in our society, men are raised to right wrongs w/ violence
America is a particularly militant society. Boys are raised to fight back when physically attacked or insulted; if they don't they're "wimps". Gun ownership is part of the inculcation of that machismo strain. Throw in psychological imbalance and you have a recipe for disaster.
