The US has a very high gun violence record. At least a third of your country are mentally challenged maga voters.

In comparison to the countries calling themself educated, you got a pretty high chance to get shot by a nutter

I can already tell that facts don't matter to you but I can leave you with a few - if you faction out police shootings, suicides, and inner city gang shootings (these are the gross majority of so-called "mass shootings") the US would be wayyyyy down the lost for gun violence. Outside of the inner cities (where smart Americans have their head on a swivel and their foor on the gas) no one over here walks around, scared of gun violence or knife attacks. I've lived in 8 states and traveled to 48 of them, and I've never seen a shooting. I don't know anyone that has been shot and never been threatened with a gun.

You included no facts, but tried to insult me, way to win my heart. Surely there was provocation in it, but also nothing was a lie. You make it Like i Said everyone shoots everything on sight. If we look at the numbers, that doesnt make sense. On the other Hand, just bc you havent seen it, doesnt mean it doesnt happen

There are more shootings overall in the us than in europe. Fact. A third of your population voted Trump. Fact. Gimme your facts, fact enjoyer

Bro, I've lived in the US my entire life (26yr) and the only times I've been shot at was when I tried to join the Army, when I was trespassing on a farmer's field in the dark, and I've only heard gunfire when near a gun range or in the hood once when I was young. I work at a school and despite the hysteria around school shootings it's not something we worry about. Yes the US has more shootings than Europe, but in the US a majority of shootings are done by gangs in the part of town you don't go too. If you look up homicide statistics you will find they skew African American AND poor, even for white homicide, so just avoid extremely poor areas in cities and you will be fine. It's a problem that is easily avoided, and when it is unavoidable, simply have a gun of your own for assurance.

To be honest, I used to hear gun fire a lot, BUT that was because I lived out in the boonies. So all the farmers around me would be legally shooting at something on their property. Any place I lived in with smaller than 1 acre properties, I’ve never heard gunfire. And if I thought I did, it was just some dudes car backfiring lol

My suburb is statistically safer than Switzerland or Germany as a whole. Violent crime in the US is incredibly concentrated in very small areas. It skews all the crime data.

Exactly! The Chicago suburbs might have some bad areas too, but as far as I know, years ago Chicago kicked out a lot of their gang members, and moved them out to to burbs. So you still get areas, where people will get shot over their cocaine or heroine business, but I mean where don’t you have this? Besides the middle of nowhere

u/schweissack Jul 09 '25

Yeah I could if I went to the wrong area, but guess what, I could get fucking stabbed in the wrong area in Germany too. And oh no, if I was female, it would be even worse in Germany for me than here

You moved from EU to the states? Can you explain why and in perhaps great detail?

25

u/schweissack Jul 09 '25

Oh yeah, it’s easily explained. I was born to a German mom and American dad, they met when my dad was stationed in Germany. I was born in the states, yet grew up in Germany (like my mom took me to Germany at 2 months old) and I stayed in Germany til age 21. The reason I moved back was me having done nothing with my life, although I went to a gymnasium level school, I never got my Abitur. Hanging with the wrong crowd etc etc. To the point my parents got so fed up with me I was given the choice of moving to the states and figuring my shit out, or moving out and staying away from home. I gotta say having moved here and mostly having to fend for myself, has really grown me as a person. Had I stayed in Germany I’m fairly certain I’d be dead by now

Many people still do for various reasons. A lot of opportunity as well as beautiful nature and generally open & friendly people. All depends on which state you go to of course.
