It's also worth thinking about why this is such a localized phenomenon.
It isn't a localized phenomenon. The media hates guns (and America), so they only cover the topic in terms that make guns (and America) look bad.
If I wanted to be bad at statistics, I'd talk about how Anders Breivik shot the statistics on mass killings through the roof for Norway. But I'm not bad at statistics so I won't mention it. The Breivik/Norway statistics don't tell us much; likewise these other statistics don't tell us much.
lack of mental healthcare?
I would certainly think that mental health is an issue. Concealed carry advocates are huge proponents of mental health.
Only the ones with as high of qualifications as cops.
More kids would be saved.
