I really don't care what other countries or the people who live in other countries think about the US.Since I remember us overseas always shook our heads in disbelief about the amount of gun violence fast forward still the same tragedy...and we always said "they are idiots out there they still think is the wild wide west" I guess that saying is true and you don't care as long as its far from where you live.Funny how the murder rate in the county I live has been ZERO for the past 10 years.You don't know better. You are accustomed to fear, guns, paranoia you have 0 clue about how safe it is without the culture of gun it is in most countries. Dude kids in preschools have to do drills about an active shooter And you blaming the democrats ? Seriously?Lol thr whole entire US and thr world know that we have a gun issue, we thr ones that lived outside and the US tell you that, stats tell you that, the daily news tell you that but you are still in denial.I'm so glad I didn't grow up as a kid in thr US, we had 0 fear of getting kidnapped, shot or molested unlike most American kids....you won't know what I'm talking about, you grew up in a very Hostile and tough environment, that you need a gun to feel safe.Name these no go zones ? I used to work in one that fox news described as such. The fact is that all of the countries you named are safer than the US. Stats dont lie but gun nuts do.one incident I guess all the attacks in France and Belgium and Germany never happened right? No no go zones in all European Countries right boob?Yes , the whole European experience can be summed up by one awful incident a decade ago. Can you dress yourself in the morning you fuckwit ?Not in majority Muslim areas and remind us having your head hacked off is better then being shot.One of the biggest positives is that you can go to the shops without being shot and send your kids to school without them being slaughtered.You probably haven't visited thr likes of Norway, Denmark, Germany, Japan and even France. Very happy population hardly any homeless, healthy individuals, great infrastructure, 5 to 6 weeks vacation a year, easy and cheaper access to higher education, no one goes bankrupt if they have to go to the hospital,
Not entirely fair since income does not matter that much if you have things like free public heath care, reasonable housing, subsidized food, etc.
We likely have more homelessness, unemployment, etc., than most countries.
We for sure have one of the highest incarceration rates in the world.
We are not even very good at literacy, infant mortality, or life span.

Unless the government is somehow creating those things out of thin air, you're paying for them out of your income via taxes.

Homelessness......maybe. Ending institutionalization wasn't such a good idea.
Unemployment...... what are you talking about?
We for sure have one of the highest incarceration rates in the world.
What are we supposed to do with our criminals?
Letting them run free wouldn't help most Americans live better.
We are not even very good at literacy, infant mortality, or life span.
Not like Cuba, eh?
Dude the minute you exit the airport you see the contrast.
You probably haven't visited thr likes of Norway, Denmark, Germany, Japan and even France.
So what are their median incomes?
Maybe their after-tax incomes?
Very happy population
Smaller homes, fewer, smaller cars, lower standards of living.

Again it doesn't tell the whole story, most Europeans have better quality life than Americans. Thry rank better than Americans in education, health, happiness, life expectancy, etc...
Dude apart from some nice areas in big cities most homes in the US are old and beat up. Houses in Tennessee and Ohio that go for 40 to 50k where most people live. As far as cars, you don't need it in Europe they have a good transportation systems.
Norway 51k
How much of their GDP is state owned oil?
Dude apart from some nice areas in big cities most homes in the US are old and beat up.
Lots of brand new homes in Norway, Denmark and Germany?
How does square footage compare?
As far as cars, you don't need it in Europe they have a good transportation systems.
Plus, gas is what, triple what we pay? More?
You focus on the material and that seems to be a conservative trait. Quality of life cannot be measured by just one metric.
No, actually, they are not.......outside of democrat party controlled cities, the U.S. is as safe or safer than European countries, and the European countries are growing more and more dangerous each year.....as the 3rd world immigrants take control of organized crime.......
For England and Wales, we added together three crime categories: "violence against the person, with injury," "most serious sexual crime," and "robbery." This produced a rate of 775 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
For the United States, we used the FBI’s four standard categories for violent crime that Bier cited. We came up with a rate of 383 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
Social media post says U.K. has far higher violent crime rate than U.S. does
The debate over gun policy has inspired a blizzard of messages on social media, from both supporters and opponents of guwww.politifact.com
And when you talk about gun violence, the majority of gun murder victims...over 70-80% of the victims, are not normal Americans.....they are criminals, murdered by other criminals in democrat party controlled cities.....and of the rest, the vast majority of gun murder victims are the friends and family...and sadly children, of career criminals and gang members murdered when they are caught in the murder attempt on the actual criminal....
As John Nolte puts it over at Breitbart....in MAGA country, we have guns, we just don't have gun crime....but in blue states and blue cities, they have almost all of the gun murder.....
You don't understand America Tommy, and you will understand gun violence, it is coming to Britain and the rest of Europe...
2015, there were 13 723 nonfatal and 2762 fatal firearm injuries in children and adolescents <20 years of age in the United States.1 Deaths from firearms now rank among the top 3 causes of death in the pediatric population.1–3 In previous research, it has been identified that male sex, nonwhite race, low median income, and older adolescent age are risk factors for sustaining both fatal and nonfatal firearm injuries2,4–10; these data, however, are largely driven by firearm assaults in urban settings. In 2 previous studies, it has been demonstrated that fatality rates due to firearms for urban and rural counties are essentially equivalent both in the overall population and specifically in children and adolescents.11,12 Rural and urban differences have been noted regarding the cause of injury or death, with suicide and unintentional firearm deaths occurring at a higher rate in rural counties and deaths from firearm homicide occurring at a higher rate in urban counties.11,12
Rural Versus Urban Hospitalizations for Firearm Injuries in Children and Adolescents
In this study, we compare rates of hospitalizations for firearm injuries in children and adolescents between rural and urban areas of the United States.pediatrics.aappublications.org
See.......that link you have is bullshit....do you know why it is bullshit....?
This little bit right here....
fatal firearm injuries in children and adolescents <20 years of age in the United States.
At what point is a 15 year old gang member a regular child?
At what point is a 17,18,19 year old considered a "Child?"
They use the <20 because so few actual children die from accidental and gun murder....they have to use "under 20" so they can roll in the 15 year old gang members who are shooting each other on the orders of their gangs as part of that number.....you dumb asshole......
What is it with you gun grabbers...you always have to lie to push your agenda....
From Wisqars...the actual CDC data for children <1 to 14...I use this age range to exclude 15 year old gang members...of course, there are younger gang members shooting people, but this is a good start...
Out of 72 million children in the U.S....how many actual innocent children are murdered with guns?
For 2019....
269...
So tell us.....doofus....how does 269 out of 72 million children make guns a leading cause of death...?
Then we have accidental gun deaths of children by gun.....
51.
Again...how does 51 accidental gun deaths out of 72 million equal a leading cause of death...
You anti-gunners lie every time you post data because the actual data doesn't support anything you believe...
100 children a year die on their bicycles.........51 from gun accidents....
300 children die drowning......51 from gun accidents...
You are an idiot....
Just this past week along multiple mass shootings and dead people, criminals or not. Way too many dead people. .
You don't know what you are talking about...our issue isn't guns....since our gun murder rate went down 49% and our gun crime rate went down 75% as more Americans bought, owned and carried guns...
What you assholes don't understand is that the democrat party and it's policies drive our gun murder rate...the democrat party judges and prosecutors keep releasing violent gun offenders.....you idiot.
And like I said you have a 99.997% chance of NOT being murdered by a person using a gun if that .003% chance scares you then you really have a problem
And people in other countries don't seem to realize the wild west wasn't so wild and that most Americans have only ever seen a cowboy on a TV or movie screen.
And I'll admit that I really don't care about the crime in other places because unlike you I;m honest about it.
People that own guns legally are not the problem
