Yep. And its especially annoying because unlike many other countries, USA is completely transparent and in the global language of English. USA has its own problems with gun related deaths sure, but other countries certainly have big problems as well like with bombings.

Yeah, but all of these countries where bombings happen regularly are 3rd world countries. The US on the other hand, is still a developed country. It's facing this issue that no other developed country seems to have, yet it doesn't want to do anything about it.

Not just 3rd world countries and not just bombings. The high profile bombings/ terrorist acts in Europe are still a thing and more numerous than in US.

Tally EVERY single bombing in Europe for the last 10+ years and you won't even get to 40% of the gun deaths that happen in the US EVERY SINGLE Year. So yes no place in perfect, but let's be clear that the US is MORE imperfect compared to other so called "civilised" countries. Its death my violence rate actually would classify it as a 3rd world country, if it didn't have such a huge economy. Let's see how the economy holds up with the current shift in say 10 years.

It isn't just bombings though. Every country has their own problems like I said. For say Belgium or France it is kidnapping. For say Russia, Mexico, Ukraine, USA it is murder rate. For say Portugal and Spain it is robbery and muggings. For say UK or Germany it is the "terrorist rate". For Sweden and Australia it is Sexual Assault. Etc. etc.

And btw for the tally of "Europe" it would be difficult to tally it up without a clear definition, because if we include European Russia and Istanbul than the tally for all the bombings in 10 years definitely exceed US mass shooting deaths in a year which is much higher than 40%.
