You don't appear to be coping with it healthily. You might consider moving to a more peaceful, tolerant country with solid gun laws, like Mexico. Guns are not allowed there and they have excellent law enforcement and ZERO gun crime.

Or just keep finding a way to get by in this country, where it is as awful as you describe.

Oh, if I don’t like it I can ‘get out’ ? Fucking brilliant - well if you don’t like me complaining why don’t YOU just get out ? Everyone, who is unhappy about ANYthing can just GIT !! There’ll be no need for any kind of law or government or any state apparatus whatsoever - total anarchy, gangs raiding everything, shooting everyone who opposes them, fighting between themselves until just the most cunning and lucky ones settle into stalemates amidst their piles of fabulous trinkets. Yeh - and at any stage of this- if you don’t like it, you can just get out, and join various other silos of people who have just gotten out of other situations. To be honest, living amongst a load of people who’s whole identity is based around not linking things sounds terrible- I wouldn’t like that at all. So what would I do ? I’d just have to GET OUT again !! Ever onward, permanently unhappy with this or that little niggle - restlessly roaming the plains in fruitless quests for perfection until I withered and died.

Mexico is not a good example… maybe Canada or some European countries where yes they have strict gun laws and school shootings are rare. Clearly written by someone with no kids in school as moving to another country to avoid the fear of your kid getting killed in a school shooting is ridiculous as a solution. This belief that you “need” a gun to protect yourself is ludicrous like what do people think they are protecting themselves from? And why do you need an assault style weapon for that? Those weapons aren’t for hunting or for protecting one person they are made to kill many in seconds and the ease with which people can obtain them and get ammunition in the US is a major major problem.
