I'll leave prescription drugs out of it, but the other factors are comparable to other developed nations and we don't see the level of gun violence there. Most developed countries see the same movies, play the same video games etc at relatively the same rates.

I haven't seen the studies on prescription drugs, but the heaviest factor in most studies is being male. The second is some history of violence.

And remember mass shootings get the headlines, but they aren't all of the story with gun violence. Domestic violence, suicides, etc. These numbers in particular go way down in the aggregate with more sensible gun laws.

As I offered in the other thread, if you'd like to find out how to get involved, please PM me.
