Not wanting to sound condescending or smug or anything in that realm but, though I don't speak for everyone outside the USA, it is mind-blowing to us that you have "school shootings" normalised, on an almost weekly basis, if not more often, yet it's kind of accepted now as the price of "freedom". Nothing gets done. It's taboo to tackle the guns.
The rest of the world looks on aghast. The USA is not the example of freedom it once was portrayed as, it's become a dogmatic dystopia, increasingly so with book banning and reproductive rights being restricted.
In the 80s America seemed like the dream, here in the UK, but now, even in our own shithole I don't think we'd swap.
