    Going to the US or living there is scary. At least in some countries like in Mexico, an innocent my get hit accidentally by gangs wars. In the US the bullets seems to be directly for the innocent people.

      It really isn’t. You have to keep in mind the country is huge and shootings are done of the few things which makes international news. I live in Maryland and the only time I’ve felt unsafe going to Baltimore is getting lost at 11pm after a show

        You can easily check per 100k rate… America is up there with the finest banana republics.

        With that being said, it doesn’t stop me from living my life bit the risk of getting shot is way higher in the US than any “developed” country

      Literally. Walmart, a block party, a club, TOO MANY SCHOOLS TO COUNT, a concert, etc, etc. It never seems to end, and yet we do nothing.

      Meh, I grew up next to some favelas, and that level of violence is another level entirely, it’s just not covered as intently. People get kidnapped, families of rival gangs are targeted, not to mention the extortion.
      That being said, the US has no fucking excuse. Central and South American countries suffering from massive gangs and civil wars, they have a good reason for having so many gun deaths.
