Exactly, "they prefer to use it" - for one thing the killer's own body is safer using a gun than an ax, knife or bat. So of course someone will use a gun rather than these other implements, if they can.
People are allowed to have guns in the USA, so why wouldn't guns be the weapon of choice for the small number of people inclined to murder ?
BUT
If no gun is available, a person who is angry and out of control enough to kill...will do it with whatever is available.
