It does happen outside of the U.S., it just doesn't seem to be newsworthy for some reason.Unlike gun owners in the USA, Russian gun owners are not known for mass shootings, school shootings etc. Yesterdays US news had a two year old killing his mother with a gun.

And no I am not anti gun. I have spent many happy hours hunting and culling. I support responsible gun ownership with restrictions on gun types, police and mental checks and annual renewal of licence at a gun range firing a set number of bullets from each gun.
