    Part 1:

    No they are not

    Part 2:

    It’s all a mix of the second ammendment, their interpretation & execution of that law, a dominant military and guns lobby system (Billionaire$); people loving their guns, no access to good (mental) health care, which allthogether is holding their country hostage, imho.

    LOL

          That’s why we use per capita for statistics like this. It doesn’t matter who has more people if you adjust for population. Now, you could argue density is the problem, but in less dense places in the US the rate is even higher, so…

            Excellent mental gymnastics, color me impressed. You’ve almost made me think Switzerland is the USA.

              Excellent nothing argument. Would you care to explain why the US couldn’t have a gun culture like Switzerland if it’s not due to population density or population size?

        Great idea. Let’s make the USA a small homogeneous group and see what happens.
