Ok, Canada has a few extremists, but compared to us, they live on Walden Pond.
"Misguided poorly educated people live everywhere," I agree, but the US has had problems with them since it's inception. We conquered the native people since the Mayflower. The US is built on invasion and conquest, the European arrival, the (1st) American Revolution, conquest of the western native lands, War of 1812, Civil War, lists go up to the present century.

US men, yes usually men, have always had violent love affairs with their firearms to the point that they've misinterpreted our Second Amendment in order to continue the Wild West violence in our modern-day streets. Doubt many other places have as embarrassing a history in this short amount of time.
