No, the US is the largest exporter of guns and arms in the world. This fuels violence, especially in neighbouring countries like Canada as well as all of the Latin American countries. The gangs are well armed because of American guns and profit from drug sales.

Canada also contributes to those profits, no? Or does Canada not also buy opiates and cocaine and amphetamines?

Canada has fewer people than the state of California. Also, you're skipping over the guns part. The US is the biggest gun factory in the world.

Having a lot of guns doesn’t inherently make your crime rate go up, otherwise countries like Switzerland would have rather higher crime rates.
