RE: Gun Violence Is NOT A Mental Health Issue It's A Culture Issue
The mental health issue is just propaganda the NRA and gun manufacturers pay the media to tell people...
This is a simple issue of mathematics, the more guns you have in circulation and the easier it is for people buy guns the more gun deaths there will be. The reason the USA has the most gun deaths than any other country on earth is because the USA has more guns than any other country on earth...
If politicians really wanted to stop gun deaths all they would have to do is duplicate the laws of a country that have less gun deaths, the reason they wont is because they are paid not to...
Willfully incomplete. More guns does not factually equate to more gun death as shown.
What about countries like Switzerland that have mandatory enlistment of males between 18 - 40?

Sure, if you make the comparison to countries that are in constant conflict/war and run by drug cartels and oppressive governments, than yes you are correct those countries have less guns than the USA but more gun deaths per capita
implying the US isn't in a constant state of military intervention, ongoing drug war, or an oppressive government.
Sure the US military is on foreign lands, and I don't agree with any of that intervention. But what is going on domestically in some of those countries in your chart is no even remotely close comparable to what goes on domestically in the USA.
That is why most of the time statistical data like this is used only from countries with similar governments and living conditions to the USA...
I am merely showing that murder and gun ownership are not correlated. I am making no further claims.
Thanks for your upvote! Followed and upvoted! Can't resteem because of a bug...
