    But there are countries that are “gun free” that don’t have the mass school shootings to the level of the US. And there is still plenty of meds being used in other countries.
    And no, I don’t blame guns.

    But what percent of the deaths ?

    Is this yet another article that disingeniously plays on the statistics?

    The old saying 'A statistician can make statistics say whatever you want them to say', you just frame it in a certain way, and select the parameters that will reflect the best numbers. It's cherry-picking the way the data is categorized and quantified.

    Which other countries have the same degree of mismanagement of mental health matters as the united states?

    Why do you assume the US is more mismanaged? I don’t know that it is or isn’t.
