The US is just a rough place.

Doesn't matter if you give them nukes, guns or knives.

No, it's a very safe place to live. Violent crime is rare overall. Most Americans have never seen anyone shot actually in person. The news coverage of the vast landscape of the USA focuses on each event of violence to magnify its emotional impact to get views
