This is a discussion of VIOLENCE. NOT gun control. This about violence in general and what the problem is here in America vs other nations that have similar socioeconomics. What is done differently?
I have been pondering this question and with the most recent shooting I truly feel we have a plethora of evidence to discuss this topic at length, and we don't have to continually blame "guns" for general violence problems. Any time an incident of terror or a serial killer or a even down to domestic violence or rape...there is often a very real common trait:

Personality disorders--Axis II gets short shrift
Personality disorders. It is technically a mental illness. But it isn't the same. It is completely different. It isn't like Down syndrome. These people appear normal, they feel normal, but they suffer from something like deep rage and antipathy. They may not even see humans as anything more than speed bumps between them and their goals.
So with all this evidence: does it make sense that we should try and treat these? Our insurance industry here in America is a major handicap in dealing with mental health. As the final article states: they have put up major roadblocks because of difficulty of treatment. It is a numerical bottom line. A liability concern. They are covering their own ass. And their profit.
So if you wonder why people may seem more well adjusted in another nation? Start to wonder about that. What kind of health care do you get if you have a deep rage control issue due to a past experience? How hard is it for you to get psychotherapy covered? Can you go talk to a psychologist or a psychiatrist? Is that even financially viable?
Is it possible for us to have a good discussion on this without being distracted by the buzz words "Islamic terrorist" or "gun control?" What do you think? Should we be looking at the deeper concern on violence? Are we even trying? Or do you think we are clouded by the media and politicians and the buzz words and this is just pissing in the wind?

I believe its a combination of factors. Most notably is the destruction of the family at the hands of liberalism. The state has in essence replaced fathers. Not to mention there is a systematic attack by the left on fatherhood.
what a pile of crap

And then, of course, the left attacks Americans by leading them to believe they are too stupid to succeed without big gov't intrusion into their lives.
My exact thought when listening to the left . :lamo
you dont listen

I've lived in Chicago my whole life. I came on the Chicago public school system in the 70s and 80s. You could get a good education then. The local economy was strong and they were manufacturing jobs aplenty. The south and west side neighborhoods that are now plagued by violence were stable, people had stability and opportunities. Around the time Reagan came along all those factory jobs started closing up shop. Peoples livelihoods just disappeared. These neighborhoods now have no infrastructure there's no investment in them. They're wastelands. So people become desperate and resort to crime, have children then wind up in prison. The children grow up having no positive role model's, no positive reinforcement and the gangs becomes their family. Violence just becomes normal. These crime ridden neighborhoods need infrastructure and opportunities brought into them. That's the way to begin stopping the cycle of violence.

Blaming a particular political party is naïve and overly simplistic. The same pattern has happened in every major American city and the corrosion started around the same time with the disappearance of manufacturing jobs. All the investments and opportunities happening in my city now are in the white yuppie neighborhoods. Those little micro economies are doing great, very little crime in Lincoln park or Wicker Park. The same kind of changes needs to be brought to the south and west side communities. Not to mention that crime rates in Republican run cities are in the same ballpark.
I think that the OP meant things based in reality, not your imagination.
