    Also Switzerland and Finland have strict control over ammunition, and also have compulsary military service to instill the discipline required to handle and use guns responsibly, unlike the US where you get a discount if you have a mental disorder diagnosis (exaggeration).

    Also, socialised healthcare and mental health services.

    Also, lesser paranoia and fear of law enforcement.

      Yep, it’s a unholy coctail that causes the situation in the US and more dangerous weapons can definitely make it worse but blaiming guns for everything won’t solve the issue ether! :/

        No one is blaming guns for “everything”, but holy christ you can’t acknowledge that there’s a massive mental health issue in America without maybe thinking that it shouldn’t be so fucking easy for those mentally unstable people to get guns.

        The answer isn’t easy, but it surely isn’t more guns.

          Totally, it just often seems forgotten in the disgustions. (at least to me as a outsider)

      …military service to instill the discipline required to handle and use guns responsibly…

      What, like some kind of well regulated militia?
