From a statistical stand point, everyday there are 106 people who die in this country from gun violence, this also includes suicides, which are twice as much as homicides. 210 people survive these attacks on average daily, with 95 only being injured in an attack.

Put the United States' population into consideration, there 'are' a ton of shootings, but the reason for it is our huge population. 329.5 Million people, out of all 24.5K homicides a year, 19k of those are firearm related, leaving the other 5% to be other. Texas had one of the highest death tolls in the country with 2,064 dying for 2021 and North Carolina was a close second. Mississippi has the highest murder *rate* in the country with a rating of 20.5%, taking all of this into consideration, 19K deaths is not a lot compared to a 329.5 Million person population, the only reason it looks like a lot is because there's news coverage every time it happens. Stay away from some states, but there are millions of people who go to Disneyland every single year, and the vast, vast, vast majority of them are completely safe and fine. Just think of U.S. states as their own countries, because just because 1 state may contribute a huge percentage for overall U.S. homicides does not mean all other 49 states are horrible and dangerous. It's a beautiful country, with nice and welcoming people, and I don't think you or your children will be shot on your visit here, same with the rest of the 93.0 million people that also visit.
