Well Dax, our incredibly high rate of gun ownership in the USA correlates pretty damn well with our incredibly high rate of gun deaths.
Are you arguing the US also blows other countries out of the water in marijuana use?
First of all, thank you for admitting you didn't read about the NIH research I posted. Please just stick to High Times like the rest of #blueanonGe to get all your in-depth information about the potential psychological impact of heavy cannabis use for some people.
The U.S. has lots of guns and only a select few using them to commit crimes. In the case of mass shootings, there is always or almost always a substantial physiological component involved.
That said, I support mandatory minimums, and the banning of certain types of weapons. Unfortunately our society has created a class of individuals that lack the psychological capacity to understand what it means to pull the trigger of a weapon. IMO that mindset is driven by a variety of factors, including the factor of an entertainment industry that has made billions of dollars glorifying and sanitizing gun violence and imprinting on certain types of mentally challenged individuals.
