I'm just glad i live in Canada's murder capital, where people can walk the streets in broad daylight without fear of being shot to death.

How much of this is related to gang violence
CrapBaskets
How many of these are with illegally purchased firearms?

There are mental health issues in the UK too. Strangely I don't see any gun massacres occurring.
NipplesTheEnchiIada
I'm not sure if the title is being sarcastic or not. If it is being sarcastic, then yes, this IS a mental health issue.

Correlation : population density?
DamnnSon
lets hope that one day the usa has good gunlaws.

Without standardization, variation will occur.
PileOfWalthers
There are plenty of gun laws in the US, and anybody who pretends there aren't any is a fucking moron.

murder is super illegal. If only there was a law to prevent it...

Here is my question, why is it mental health when a white person does it, a thug when a black person does it, and terrorism when arabs do it

Motive?

Because those are the only times it makes the news. If it doesn't further the hype then it doesn't get ratings and doesn't sell ads.
craze
because of propaganda

How does a gun incidents map prove that its not a mental issue?

hmm looks a lot like the red dots are just where there are higher concentrations of people
Jimmyb3121
You take that logic and gtfo!!
nethorizon82
Yup, statistical probability... the more people in an area the more likely a particular thing will happen there. +1 for pointing that out
Bongedagain
Not really there are 24 million ppl in the greater Los Angeles area and not much red there
flerkinmygerkin
Wat, it's all red....

It's a global problem. Not a US problem
CrapBaskets
Big cities have a bulk of the US gun deaths.
DeviatedPrevert
is that crime? war and crime combined? suicides?
steadyrockin
It's only war zones where it depicts them. Legend on bottom left.

Wow canada really knows how to handle mental health
thevortexmaster
We have good mental health programs but that’s not really an issue http://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2014/04/mental-illness-crime.aspx
Illsaysomethingjusttomakeyoumad
Would a mentally stable person kill anyone? Gun or not something has to be broken in their mind to be willing to murder.
hellofromafar
Anyone can Be pushed to kill. And you can use pretty much anything to kill.
Illsaysomethingjusttomakeyoumad
That's my point. "Pushed" to a point that would kill. His choice to use a gun.

Even so people at off by pleading insane. That's mental illness
Illsaysomethingjusttomakeyoumad
I do believe we need a better licensing program to own firearms. And it should be illegal to build one from parts.
HowToBeSuccessfulAsaSerialKiller
It is illegal to build one from (home made) parts. A legally built gun will have a serial number on the firing mechanism, I believe. Federal
HowToBeSuccessfulAsaSerialKiller
Law requires it. It may be a different peeve, but it's required either way. They also ruled 3d printing a firearm is illegal.
Illsaysomethingjusttomakeyoumad
I didn't know that. I just know personally people who buy parts and assemble rifles.
Illsaysomethingjusttomakeyoumad
Modify drum mags and that's in CA.
