Best not be so serious: You're mistaken.
Is a whipping a proper punishment for chewing gum left on a Singapore sidewalk?
> Step inside a land/house by accident and gets killed by the homeowner's M14 is just... nuts (yes I know I'm exaggerating a bit).
Does the dead seriousness lead you to believe Americans approve of this nutso reaction?
The last time I stepped in chewing gum I felt the answer was an unequivocal yes.
70% of gun deaths are suicides. The majority of the rest are inner city unlawful gang-on-gang violence.
Most people never even see a gun in the US in their lifetime. Stop spreading misinformation and fear-mongering propaganda.

You count the number of people who got killed. You should also included the number of people who "almost" got killed (paralyzed), traumatized, etc.
Somehow your statement also made the whole thing looks "insignificant". I'm not sure why that is because in other countries, there will be a huge uproar leading to change in laws and regulations to the point of banning.
So if hundreds died due to repeated mass-shootings and only 30% of the incidents that makes gun to be a non-issue in the States? because the other 70% gun-deaths are suicides? So just because the largest piece of the Pie-chart is for "non-violent" gun-death then there is no gun-issue?
What about domestic conflicts that leads to shooting? (glad they missed ... )
Damn...
I saw Dana Loesch went on CNN one time and I saw her speaking in some sort of Townhall. She's really good at her job and the NRA should pay her TONS of money. That lady can sell you anything including MySpace.com today.
You should talk to the victims of mass-shootings and learn the truth.
In the present day, if you're a black American you may also have a different perspective on life in the US than if you're white.
What about those drones the Americans sent to kill random people?
What about police brutality?
Per-individual base, human also tend to use phrases like "human rights" to cover up their problems. I find it interesting that in the US, the people argue a lot about Abortion vs Right-to-Live meanwhile in California, they glamorized Sex for all ages. American Pies and a bunch of other chick-flick/high-school football movies that often highlights sex-on-prom-day. Social pressure of having sex between unmarried couple. I wonder if those contributes to the need for abortion just because they're not ready.
"human rights"
Allow me to provide the context:
If you're a Chinese internantional student living in the USA where the #1 guy in the country uses Identity Politics as its arsenal to win and lead the country, you, as an outsider, will feel insecure w.r.t of races.
If you're a Chinese international student coming back home to your country of origin, you're used to the situations there: that's what you were born with and that's your culture that you're used to for 18 years of your life. I mean, you're still free to roam the streets, eat any food, continue with your life as-is. It's not like you live in a jail.
If you're a typical Americans who doesn't like the government to limit virtually anything (yes, I'm dead serious, Americans want everything and they don't like rules), you probably look at other countries as some sort of un-democratic, nazi-like state. I've seen a few people here criticized Singapore! If you go to Singapore, there's only a limited number of citizens who dislike the leaders.
Context is very important when comparing two countries/cultures.
For example, I live in a no-gun country so I scratched my head hard whenever I see mass-shooting in the US every week killing your children just because folks love their guns. That's just... crazy.
Step inside a land/house by accident and gets killed by the homeowner's M14 is just... nuts (yes I know I'm exaggerating a bit).
