I think that part of it is that many of them don't feel they have control over many parts of their lives.
In this way...they do the planning and the carrying out of those plans.
They have the guns and call the proverbial shots on unsuspecting and unprotected "easy" targets who more than likely have no way of protecting themselves.
Then...once someone comes along who has weapons and "know-how", suddenly the rules change and they can no longer "call the shots" thus they end it on their own terms because they know that in the end...they will "lose again" unless they do so.
That's just my take on it.
