What people from Europe do not understand about Americans

 

When we came to Spain I asked our driver if we are safe in Spain.  He said it’s a very safe country, and we chatted about it some more.  

Europeans can’t understand why Americans love guns so much?  A few days ago the US lost another 19 children to gun violence in Texas.  I did a little research and about 40,000 people per year are killed by guns in the US or about 12 per 100,000 people.  Spain is .067 per 100,000 so I guess they are much safer.  If we could only kill the same percent of people as Spain (.067) we would save 37,667 lives per year.

BTW; the NRA donated $50,000,000 to the Republican Party in 2020.
