I bet they have bullies in Australia, England and Canada, too...

I choose these three countries because they are very similar in language, culture, demographics and economic status as the United States.

I also bet that these three countries have individuals who suffer from various types of mental illness. I bet they also have the same relative proportion of their population that watch violent TV shows, movies and play violent video games.

Yet, all three countries have a fraction of the gun deaths, mass shootings and gun violence that we have.

I wonder why that is? (Sarcasm intended).
