      No, there is no evidence that the distribution or severity of mental illnesses here is anywhere near sufficiently different to explain the huge disparity in gun violence between the US and other developed countries. In fact, it's not really different.https://twitter.com/DrBradHolland/status/967615048490405888 …

      I’m not talking about the rate, I’m talking about the disease. And the incidence of mental illness causing a mass shooting is higher here because the disease is different (it’s not a tough sell, the psych-social angst & triggers are different here, higher fatherlessness etc.

      Differences in mental illness severity or type in the US do not explain the amount of gun violence here relative to the rest of the world. They just don't.

          Is he seriously trying to argue that American mental illness is exceptional? Wow.

          Replying to @meres_y @gorskon

          In a nutshell, more or less. The common denominator in other countries with little gun violence is the very limited availability of them. This is not a complicated matter.

          Russia and China have some of the highest suicide rates because of forced labor. Guns help regulate the government
