Firearms are literally the leading cause of death for American children right now, eclipsing all other causes.
America saw more children killed in school shootings this fall than Nice has seen in the last fifty years put together.
Comparing these things just reminds us all how much better the rest of the first world has it than we do. Any kids growing up in Nice have a lot better chance at actually growing up than they do in a country where mentally ill people can easily and affordably buy assault rifles and ammunition in near unlimited quantities.

Plenty of the world has disease as the leading cause of death for children, and as a result, most parents have much less certainty that their kids will survive to adulthood.
America's isn't the worst problem to have, and really points at how much better Americans have it than most
