RE: Gun Violence Is NOT A Mental Health Issue It's A Culture Issue
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.
