I was comparing it with late 2000-2014 when I visited US a couple of times.

I agree it is an emotional comparison and probably driven by media.

Still I have replied in some other comment the idea that there are 500 shootings in 2024 in US seems to crazy to me. I know US is huge and this does not tell anything if I visit a specific place. Thus my emotional fear

This page seems to me to have more than 0 deaths from guns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_...

> A total of 711 people have been killed and 2,375 people have been wounded in 586 shootings

Not sure how to explain this and I don't want to imply anything about US culture cause I don't know it but it is so unimaginable to me that there were 500 shootings in one year.

Were I live we had none (zero) in the last 10 years or even more. Of course a smaller country so probably not comparable.
