I don't see it as being a mere cultural stigma from immigration. There is an absolute rubbish mental health system in the states. I mean, Hell, I have good health insurance, and I can't even get anything but 25% of my mental health insurance covered. Along with that, there's in many states the requirement that the person be violent prior to said episode before mental institutionalization is even mentioned.
With that, there's only an average of 24 hours - 72 hours for your average stay, and it takes several weeks for many medications to even take effect. I could go on and on about my personal experience, but I've never been violent, so my personal experience doesn't include much. Long story short, there's a lot of stuff wrong here; the ease of access to firearms coupled with the flawed mental health system don't really help much.

I think what HHBH is trying to imply, is that the USA is made up of immigrants from literally everywhere and most of those would've come from the lower levels of society from the country where they came from, hence violence and risky behaviour wasn't anything new to them.

I haven't read through too much of this thread, so I don't know if what I've put above is in entirely true and just another example of the UK press jumping on something. If true though, I find that solution disturbing.

The best way to asses this, is to look at four English speaking countries that have been built up on immigration. These four would be the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Then looking at the ratio of gun ownership and how it relates to gun crime in each of the respective countries. I' sure there are stats out there for this. Then one of the most crucial factors is the type of immigration that each country attracts.
Initially both the USA and Australia took anybody before they really tightened up on their immigration criteria, whereas Canada and New Zealand have always been more restrictive on the type of immigrants that they let in.
