Part of the relative lack of guns, given the population in urban centers, is the frequently restrictive anti-gun laws already in place which makes it difficult to own and use a firearm. It's a vicious cycle.

Yes, but only partly. In the city, it takes resources and dedication to introduce your children to firearms or even find somewhere to shoot. I live in a suburb and drive at least an hour to find a range at which I can shoot. We are over-run by deer, but when culling is announced, the lovely mothers who drive SUVs so they can manage the hundred foot journey through an inch of snow to get to the street go to council meetings to protest killing any deer.
The best part of a country house imho is the ability to grab a box of 22lr and a rifle walk out to the edge of a field and shoot. Fewer people have that now.
