[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rest of the world things we a crazy and they are right. There have been nearly 200 mass shootings in 2023. And that doesn't count the hundreds (maybe 1000s) of incidents where fewer than 4 died. Why do we allow ourselves to live like this?  It truly is a sign of insanity. Americans love to talk about their freedom. But living under constant threat that someone with a gun could kill me or a family member at any moment is not freedom. Our nation is sick and dying. My husband and I families have been here for 4-5 generations respectively) have been working on a plan to leave. It makes me sad but I can't see it getting any better. Ever. I've lost hope and think we'll go the way of the Roman Empire in the next generation or two. But worse,  since there are millions of guns that will never be retrieved and destroyed. They will be with us forever. I saw the Texas mall headline and couldn't be bothered to read a single story. It's just despair porn as this point. Is anyone else genuinely considering leaving the US?

My husband and I have decided to move next summer. It’s just not feasible to raise our three kids in such a terrible gun infested environment. We are well settled here but I refuse to live in a country where guns are valued more than lives.  How much longer till one of us is a victim. There is no rhyme or reason to this madness. It can happen anywhere and at this point I feel I’m doing my kids a disservice by staying here. I am Canadian so we are headed to Ontario next year. I also think it’s not only about the victims who end up dead. Think of the trauma being inflicted on people especially kids who have to be evacuated from schools, malls, hospitals, parks because there is an active shooter on the loose. It’s insane!!! [/quote]
