I’m just speaking up because I’ve seen a lot of people online from outside the US running with this idea that gun violence is like, a daily occurence that every US citizen deals with regularly, when that’s so fucking far from the reality.
Yeah, things are a powder keg over here lately and the accessibility of firearms doesn’t help, but I’ve met only one person in my almost 35 years of life who’s ever been held at gunpoint and they’re the only person I know who has ever been through any form of gun violence.
There’s plenty of reasons to avoid this place for a good long while unfortunately, but I feel like the gun danger has been overblown.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, it’s definitely good to hear daily life is not as scary as it may seem from news coverage.
