    Is it not the largest country at the top of the list?

    Per capita, the US is way ahead of all other developed countries on gun-related deaths.

      And they have the highest ratio of people with mental issues among the largest countries.

      You claimed they don’t have more mental health issues, I’m asking why you would think that while they are the leader.

        Not enough to explain the relative excessive amount of gun-related killings. Now, I do believe that mental health issues combined with easy access to weapons is a toxic combo.

          That would be the missing statistics due to the lack of access there.

          There is obviously more people with issues than what’s been reported. Since it’s only what’s reported and they can’t report if people can’t access the help that doesn’t exist.
