Exactly. You need both terrible conditions AND easy access to guns to have what’s going on in America.
Finland has easy access to guns in the form of being able to keep your rifle after your conscription ends. But it doesn’t have the social problems America has, not even close. Finland also does not have near-daily mass shootings.
I do not think though you can blame this on “bullying in schools” or “corporate culture” whatever it means. I think it is related to gun culture, failure of medical system to treat people with mental issues and prevent access to guns for such people. Generally easy gun access is part of the picture too. The Finland example is interesting but they arguably do not have US-type-of-easy access to guns nor the same gun culture and gun ownership is still much lower than in US.
