On ADHD alone which is a pretty good marker for population compulsivity, people with ADHD, self-selected out of your population and came to America. Even in America, the incidence of ADHD, is much higher in the West were, again, an impulsive portion of the population self-selected to move into a much more hazardous environment.
Never mind the stark cultural differences, the actually biological differences between those who remained and those who left have got to be noteworthy especially as it pertains to risk-taking behavior.
Our nearest population control would be Austrailia, that does not share a land mass with a violent, impoverished Latin America, and did not import enslaved, tribesman from Africa with a propensity for violence.Then and now. Maybe you can solve Africa's violence problem with some judicious gun control laws?
If you want to make the argument that we are just Englishmen with funny American accents you have to remove every death by firearm where the victim or perpetrator was not white. When you hear of 40 people being shot in Chicago on a weekend they are not of English extraction. The only reason we don't have an even higher, more disproportionate number of deaths for Blacks in America, is because the violence is centered around some of the finest trauma centers in the world, and because blacks hold their guns sideways. (kidding, but only a little)
If you are shot with a gun in America, the odds are it was a handgun (something like 97%), not a rifle and that you and your shooter were black.(about 50%)
ADHD in action is mindless, reckless destruction and high risk action. ADHD is the bull in a china shop.
Its not daydreaming or other forms of inattention and impulsive deeds.
