Why does the US have so many more “bad guys” than other developed countries? What does that say about us?

I ask because we have the highest rate of gun deaths in the developed world and because Republicans and Trump supporters insist that we can’t have any more gun control because “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” and “we don’t have a gun problem, we have a morality problem”. Why do we have a “morality problem”? I thought we were “the greatest country on Earth”? So we’re the greatest country on Earth, we just have the shittiest people?

It's not permitted for the press in other countries to let their slaves and subjects tell about how much criminal activity they have to the rest of the world.

@SteelHands So other countries are under reporting their gun deaths? Why?

@JP1119 So they look better than they actually are.

@SteelHands Why do they care if they “look better than they are”? Who’s going to do anything about it?

@JP1119 Lots of reasons. The top three are economic import export trade stability, intergovernmental cooperation, and leadership trust.

And we’re the only country in the world that’s enlightened enough to have freedom of the press? @SteelHands

@JP1119 It's because our press and media news organizations have a unnatural obsession with violent news and downplaying more important economic and social news.

[b]2%[/b] of any given country makes problems for around 96% of the decent people in a given system. Another 2% are either organically mentally challenged or the natural waste product of excessively wealthy parents that makes them into a sort of useless yet harmless class of non contributors to a society.

This used to be fairly common knowledge. The teachers these days are borderline idiots, however. Seems you're a perfect example of their failure.
