I will tell you that rampage shootings are very rare. When they do happen, the media covers them intensely so the emotional impact of them is greater than for lesser crimes. Statistically, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than to be killed by a rampage shooter, or be illegally killed by a person with a concealed carry permit. And some people do get struck by lightning.
Guns are very common here, except in some cities. There are about 300 million guns in private hands in the country and tens of thousands more are sold every day.
There are bad people in any country. Just as you have learned to avoid them in your country you will have to learn how to avoid them in this country.
Do not let fear rule your life. Come on over and learn our culture, including our gun culture. Make friends with a gun owner and ask him to take you to a range. Accidents are extremely rare.
I, personally, have nine guns.
