> but in EU also every day ppl get shot and murdered

Sure, let's look at the numbers together :

- Homicide rate in the EU in 2023 : ~1.3 to 1.4 per 100,000 [1] - Homicide rate in the US in 2023 : 5.7 per 100,000 [2]

So, I'm 4x more likely to get killed in the US than in the EU.

> the vast majority of such cases doesnt make it even into local news let alone national or international

Do you really believe that murders don't get published in the media in the EU? This is a ridiculous assertion. Source please!
