    It’s the guns. No reason anybody has to treat guns as sacred.

      It’s a lot of things. Not just guns. Switzerland has similar gun ownership rates, but different gun culture and mental health issues as well as a lower wealth divide and less suffering/impoverished people.

        Switzerland ALSO has extremely strictly enforced laws on gun storage, harsh restrictions on where you can buy and store ammo (and how much ammo you can have), and a licensure system for private firearm ownership.

        Maybe we could look at those.

          Agreed. We should take a holistic approach to solving problems.

          Talk of regulations, actual enforcement of existing laws, or just better training and some people only hear “take my guns away!” They want free market rules without consideration of what that causes.

      We have loads of reasons. You’ve just decided to oversimplify and cast those reasons aside because you live in cartoon land where people can’t do illegal stuff.
