It depends upon how you see things. I would like to ask you a question, how many mass school shootings have you seen or heard off in the third world countries. The United States have a serious gun issue and the people ignore to talk about it because the NRA has manipulated their minds.

Yes in the USA mass shootings exist, crazy people exist everywhere.
In the third world it's common to die from drinking water or hunger but not reported. I don't see migrants illegally entering 3rd world countries.
Leading causes of death by economy income group
More than half (52%) of all deaths in low-income countries in 2015 were caused by the so-called “Group I” conditions, which include communicable diseases, maternal causes, conditions arising during pregnancy and childbirth, and nutritional deficiencies. By contrast, less than 7% of deaths in high-income countries were due to such causes. Lower respiratory infections were among the leading causes of death across all income groups.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) caused 70% of deaths globally, ranging from 37% in low-income countries to 88% in high-income countries. All but 1 of the 10 leading causes of death in high-income countries were NCDs. In terms of absolute number of deaths, however, 78% of global NCD deaths occurred in low- and middle-income countries.

Injuries claimed nearly 5 million lives in 2015. More than a quarter (27%) of these deaths were due to road traffic injuries. Low-income countries had the highest mortality rate due to road traffic injuries with 28.5 deaths per 100 000 population – the global rate was 18.3. Road injuries were also among the leading 10 causes of death in both lower-middle- and upper-middle-income countries.

And as if the guns/NRA break the law; ever hear of personal responsible??

We're not the only country with a gun violence problem.

Open your eyes.

"...In December 2014, Taliban militants killed 148 people, including 132 schoolchildren, at the Army Public School in Peshawar, Pakistan. And in CNN’s list Kenya is counted as recording only one school shooting between 2009 and 2018, but that April 2015 attack by Al-Shabaab militants on Garissa University College left 148 people dead. By contrast, the deadliest single school shooting in the United States during the same time period was the December 2012 Sandy Hook massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, in which a gunman killed 27 people (mostly children) at an elementary school..."

We compare the U.S. to other industrialized nations, not the most dangerous, poorest, least political stable countries on the planet.
