US small arms per 100 persons: 120
Portugal small arms per 100 persons: 20
US murder rate: 5.9 per 100,000
Portugal murder rate: 0.8 per 100,000
US mental health care system: for-profit, limited by insurance carriers
Portugal mental health care system: Single-payer public
Smart kid in Portugal gets scholarship to come to US, lives here 20 years, has mental breakdown, kills a professor and shoots up a university.
I don’t think the problem is immigration from Portugal. The problem is here.
