Mental health a large issue in violence problem facing U.S.

To the Editor,I believe that the U.S. has a violence problem not a gun problem. Media spin skews gun violence statistics by including individual suicides to arrive at their figure of 30,000 annual gun-related deaths. More than half of these consist of suicide by self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Crime and accidents account for the other half.Violent crime has become so widely reported that we are rarely surprised by its occurrence. The 24-hour-a-day news cycle ensures that even lesser incidents are publicized. Thus we are familiar with and even expect the possibility of criminal activity.
