Mental illness is all over the world but the US has 44% of the guns and only 4.5% of the population. And 99% of the gun violence that is committed is done by males. THAT IS THE PROBLEM! It is OUR problem, our culture and our society that needs to be addressed!

Yes, mental illness, background checks, the availability of guns, etc. They all need to be addressed but no one is addressing the real common factor..... testosterone and America. That combination is the problem.
