" In every country people get into arguments, hold racist
views or suffer from mental health issues. But in the United
States it is easier for these people to pick ip a gun and
shoot someone."

This is the reality that allowed an 18 year old to obtain
an assault rifle and kill 19 children and two teachers
at an elementary school classroom in Uyalde, Texas and it
is what makes the United States a global outlier when it
comes to gun violence with more deaths than any of
its peers.

Studies have found this to be true at the state and national
level. It is true for homicides, suicides, mass shootings
and even police shootings.

Strict gun laws appear to help they are associated with fewer
gun deaths in both a domestic and global context while
looser gun laws are associated with more gun deaths.

Foxy,
How do you account for the fact that the USA has more guns in civilian hands than any other country in the world but is so far down the list for murders?
Surely, by your apparent reasoning, it should have the highest.

The top country for murders has ten times the murder rate of the US but strict gun laws; this is El Salvador.

Why do you think this might be?

Violence in Latin America is caused in great part
by drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, gang wars.
Rates of gang and drug activities fall in some areas
due to law reforms or government squeeze.

Traffickers often go elsewhere and violence surges
in those other regions. Violence in Latin America has
influenced immigration from affected areas into the
US - causing problems.

Foxy,
So the US is one of the safer places to be; but you haven’t explained why, with so many guns the US has a low murder rate.

Steele,
Having now resorted to the Ad Hominem tactic, I suppose that you won’t answer the question of why does a country with the highest gun ownership in the world have a low murder rate?
