"But your risk of getting shot in a mass shooting is low. "
But absurdly HIGHER than say, in Sweden. And most gun violence isn't mass shootings.

I didn't say the US doesn't have issues, just that looking at the whole picture -- and comparing with other countries, it's not that horrible. In Sweden economic opportunities are slightly fewer. Not that it really matters, if you live in modern Western country you're doing pretty well.
