I am not even talking about really graphic violence, just your run of the mill crime story, shooting your husband to get the life insurance.

Violence is normalised due to gun culture in America. Hollywood plays a part in this too. School shootings which is basically a daily event and a unique bug/feature of American life is a symptom of this.

Sex and procreation which is arguably the complete opposite to murder is ostrasized because of it.

Well that’s not considered adult in any jurisdiction I know of. Maybe PG-13 at most.
I mean that is the point. What happens to the rating if the women does not shoot at her husband but opens her bathrobe and starts undressing him?
Nothing. In the US that’d be PG-13 too.
Really? From a quick search I would have assumed it becomes R rated pretty quickly because of sexually oriented nudity.
