    The US has a mental health crisis. Other nations have guns, hunting for sport and private firearm ownership - none have the problems with massacres that the US has.

      I dunno about a crisis. But the US gives guns to people with mental health issues, almost no other country does that.

        I think just because it’s been happening for 30 years doesn’t mean it’s not a crisis. It’s pretty messed up that our “normal” is to have school shooter drills like prairie states have tornado drills. Only one of those is an unpreventable natural occurrence.

          That doesn’t mean you have a mental health crisis.

          It means you have a school shooting crisis, though. But I’ve never seen the data about mental health, and your comment doesn’t have it either.
