No, they don't. We have plenty of them in Canada.
1/10 of the population, no significant crime to speak of, and for the most part the people aren't hopped up on antidepressants and other shit like that.
Apples and oranges.
That's true. Even Michael Moore's documentary of Columbine noted that Canada has gun ownership at the same levels, but much lower amok-runs.
He stupidly focused on guns and harassed Charlton Heston, but actually his reasons given why the US is more crazy than Canada came down to
+ highly different media
+ more volatile nature in schools and society including much greater struggle for survival than in Canada
I don't think that he went into psychotropics so much, because back then there was less information on them.
But on the other hand - there may be other factors at play. Even in ancient times the Canadian North American Indians thought that the tribes on US territory were far more violent and crazy.
Of course - all of that does not explain why in the past everyone was armed and there were no school shooters, but now things have gotten severely out of hand so fast.
That is how disintegration of the morals and structures of society look like when you go down from a 80-90% stable family rate and sound ethical basis to a single motherhood hellhole.
