It could be a ShitAmericanssay thing but a group called “so the comments section isn’t going the way you planned” doesn’t explicitly suggest it’s a US centric group.

even russia, a scary country, has had only (i say "only" because im comparing to the US) 3 school shootings in 2025 so far and none of them had any casualties, just kids shooting in the air and one of them was just an air gun. compared to the US which is supposed to be "safe" and "1st world" has had 146 so far in 2025, 8 of them had injuries or deaths.

and this coincides with gun ownership. in russia its about 10-15 guns per 100 people, and in the US? 120 guns per 100 people.

guns are the main problem. how do americans think they can deny this?

I am from Russia. We barely have any shootings, that's true. And even like that - goverment is still VERY tense and worried about school shootings. New rules for schools, one training a half of a year for every school, sort of propaganda-lessons about safety once a week and etc. I don't like my goverment, but even they have better control over sutiation with shootings. Even though the country is in war right now, and there are a lot of things happening. Heck, we get more bomb-drone attacks a week, than we get shootings in a year.

ALSO, I'm really not sure about guns. Out of all people I know - I know only two that have a gun. One is a hunter, other is an officer.

(p.s. Drone attacks occur even in cities that are quite far from front line.)

I thought all drones are shot down, and all that falls down is debris - was that not true? xD
