  1. Two things. One, the US has poorer access to mental health support than most OECD countries due to high level of privatization and high prices etc. Two, the US has an almost fanatical devotion to firearm culture due to their 2nd amendment rights. The combination of these two is obviously not safe, and to think that they are going to host the World Cup there in a few weeks.
