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?

@WeighedDown Did they break the law and have a trial or did we just throw them in prison?

@eli1601 does not matter prison trains Criminals to be more violent and more ruthless. Cages cause more aggression, Cesar Millan can tell you that. Once in prison the first choice you make is join a gang or be targeted by everybody and anybody.
