But, they don't fall out of the sky every couple months, Americans DO die from guns every couple minutes though.

  Planes absolutely do crash every couple of months, much more if you count private planes. Just like guns, you have to keep away from the "wrong places" to be safe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incidents_involving_commercial_aircraft#2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incident...

  Planes do fall out of the sky every couple months, especially when you consider small planes and non-commercial flights. Additionally, the gun deaths statistic is cherry picked. Two-thirds of those gun deaths are from suicide. Also, the overwhelming majority of those who die in gun related homicides are poor minorities, highly concentrated in poor communities, and tend to occur between people who know each other, rather than random deaths. Does America have a gun violence problem? Yes. Are guns a reason to be concerned for the average American, or someone like yourself who would move here? Not even remotely.
