It really isn't. You have to keep in mind the country is huge and shootings are done of the few things which makes international news. I live in Maryland and the only time I've felt unsafe going to Baltimore is getting lost at 11pm after a show

You can easily check per 100k rate... America is up there with the finest banana republics.

With that being said, it doesn't stop me from living my life bit the risk of getting shot is way higher in the US than any "developed" country
