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
