    I’m starting to feel like I was right by not wanting to move to the USA. Like, sure, the tech salaries here are 2-3x lower, but I’m more than 2-3x less likely to die in a shooting so I think it balances out a little bit.

      Emotions are a bitch aren’t they?

      Your odds of dying in a shooting are virtually zero unless you hang out in schools for fun. Media wants you to feel this way. Stop being played by the media.

      Odds are significantly higher that you’ll die in a car accident or from cancer.

        Well the car deaths being on the rise is also a policy failure. We’re letting car makers make cars that are better at killing pedestrians. Kind of sounds familiar

        And sure the odds are small I would get involved in a mass shooting, my kids who go to school however literally have school shooting drills.
