In my country, Guns and Bullets are heavily controlled(Even airsoft is banned here). You can not get explosive unless you prove you have legit use for it(usually for mining). And of course DIY gun or bullet is no-no and you will be jailed.

Even in police force or army, they literally count every single bullet, and for every fired bullet, it must be explained in detail.

Maybe that's why we have low gun-related crime here.

Gunpowder is fairly simple to make.

Mexico has extremely restrictive gun laws and that is not the case there. It seems to have more to do with how much crime you have than whether someone who could be charged with homicide could redundantly be charged with having a firearm.
