That's half the picture. The other half is that the average European is less motivated toward violence or suicide than, say, the average American - and is therefore less motivated toward acquiring the tools for violence or suicide, by whatever means necessary. Basically: it's the intersection of ease v. motivation that's at play, not just the ease alone. Once that's identified, it becomes immediately obvious that there's a whole cornucopia of options besides trying to minimize ease (and failing, due to technological advances making it easier to sidestep artificial obstacles - 3D printing being the topical example).
