Damn, that's insane. I live in the UK, so my exposure to this stuff is mostly either a regular throughline of offhanded jokes about Americans and their guns, and occasionally the news becoming dominated by an especially bad shooting. We're quite separated from the constant reality of it, because so much of it does just fade into the background, to be highlighted only as statistics

    All the students at my local high school staged a coordinated walk out without any adult intervention to march and protest the gun violence on campus. Hundreds of kids. It didn’t even make the news.
