I don't know what to tell you beyond what I've already said.
I'm not denying that it's a serious goddamn problem. I have acknowledged that in every single comment I've made about this. Please stop insisting that I'm saying otherwise.
Once again, I am only saying that despite the high numbers, it is not just some ever present part of life over here to the degree that every American, or even a majority, has experienced gun violence. Everyone from the outside seems to think that's true, but it's insanely, laughably not. The quite overwhelming majority of Americans have not experienced gun violence, and won't within their lifetime.
Our population number is roughly equivalent to 3/4 of the entire European Union's combined population. Any of our numbers relating to people are going to look high unless you bear that in mind.
