“ Three weeks and 39 mass shootings. This is America in 2023”

“There are about 393 million privately owned firearms in the US. That’s 120 guns for every 100 Americans. 45% of US adults say they live in a household with a gun, according to an October 2022 Gallup survey.“

“Firearm injuries are now the leading cause of death among people younger than 24 in the United States. From 2015 through 2020, there were at least 2,070 unintentional shootings by children under 18 in the US. Those shootings resulted in 765 deaths and 1,366 injuries.”

“Tragedy upon tragedy’: why 39 US mass shootings already this year is just the start”

“There are more guns in the US than people, according to a 2018 Small Arms Survey report, which found the country had the highest rate of firearm ownership in the world, and more than double the next country on the list, Yemen.”

Fentanyl is killing 100,000 young Americans each year. White libs don't give a fuck.

What's behind the rise in gun ownership for people of color?
Black, Asian and Latino people are buying guns more than before.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation, a national trade association in the firearms industry, says that when comparing 2019 to 2020, there was a 58.2% increase in gun purchases among Black people, a 43% increase with Asians and 49% among Latinos.

In 2020, the U.S. saw the highest number of hate crimes in more than 10 years, according to the FBI.

Anti-Black hate crimes rose nearly 40% from 2019 to 2020, according to the statistics. There were 2,755 reported incidents targeting Black or African American people in the U.S. in 2020, making this demographic the most targeted racial group by a large margin.

Hate crimes targeting the Asian community in the U.S. rose by about 73% in 2020 when compared with 2019's numbers, from 158 to 274, according to FBI hate crime statistics.

Police killings and xenophobic rhetoric have also intensified the racial and social divide in the United States -- spurring those in fear to make new firearm purchases, according to gun owners who spoke with ABC News.

IMO, it's untreated mental illness. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans care to address the increasing lack of mental health care in America. They only want to ban shit and assert more control over the US population.

2023 Key Findings

• In 2019-2020, 20.78% of adults were experiencing a mental illness. That is equivalent to over 50 million Americans.
• The vast majority of individuals with a substance use disorder in the U.S. are not receiving treatment. 15.35% of adults had a substance use disorder in the past year. Of them, 93.5% did not receive any form of treatment.
• Millions of adults in the U.S. experience serious thoughts of suicide, with the highest rate among multiracial individuals. The percentage of adults reporting serious thoughts of suicide is 4.84%, totaling over 12.1 million individuals. 11% of adults who identified with two or more races reported serious thoughts of suicide in 2020 – 6% higher than the average among all adults.
• Over 1 in 10 youth in the U.S. are experiencing depression that is severely impairing their ability to function at school or work, at home, with family, or in their social life. 16.39% of youth (age 12-17) report suffering from at least one major depressive episode (MDE) in the past year. 11.5% of youth (over 2.7 million youth) are experiencing severe major depression.
• Over half (54.7%) of adults with a mental illness do not receive treatment, totaling over 28 million individuals. Even in Montana (ranked #1), over 4 in 10 adults with a mental illness did not receive care.
• Almost a third (28.2%) of all adults with a mental illness reported that they were not able to receive the treatment they needed. 42% of adults with AMI reported they were unable to receive necessary care because they could not afford it.
• 10.8% (over 5.5 million) of adults with a mental illness are uninsured. Hispanic adults with AMI were least likely to have health insurance, with 19% reporting they were not covered by insurance.
• 6.34% of youth in the U.S. reported a substance use disorder in the past year. That is equivalent to over 1.5 million youth in the U.S. who meet the criteria for an illicit drug or alcohol use disorder.

Asian youth with major depression were least likely to receive specialty mental health care, with 78% reporting they did not receive mental health services in the past year.

• Only .718 percent of students are identified with emotional disturbance for an individualized education program (IEP). IEPs, with sufficient resources for schools and teachers, are critical for ensuring that youth with disabilities can receive the individualized services, supports, and accommodations to succeed in a school setting.
• In the U.S., there are an estimated 350 individuals for every one mental health provider. However, these figures may actually be an overestimate of active mental health professionals, as it may include providers who are no longer practicing or accepting new patients..

Legalize and regulate drugs since the Republican War on Drugs has been 50 years of failure.

When are you going to kill this Nazi fuckwad, pup? If it helps, by being a Nazi he's also probably a pedophile. Isn't removing Nazi pedos doing society a favor?:

There are mentally ill people in every other country, yet this is the only one where they can get a gun with ease.

So it's the guns, not mental illness.

And furthermore, to put out the cry for mental illness therapy while also opposing Medicare-for-All seems a bit like being the obstacle to solving the thing you are also complaining about, in this case it's mental illness.

Sorry, dear, but that's the standard US Democrat rhetoric. Those other countries have better mental health care than the US.
