Please elaborate. I have a house in an open carry state, and I rarely seen anyone actually carrying. Even as a gun owner by far the most likely place I'm going to see a gun is on the hip of a law enforcement officer.
But on the human freedom index the US is ranked 17 alongside Sweden.
The US has problems, systemic and cultural problems that should be fixed. But your risk of getting shot in a mass shooting is low.
On the other hand, Aaron Sorkin explains[1] in 3 minutes how the USA is far from the best place to live and what made us great when we were better in those different ratings.

But absurdly HIGHER than say, in Sweden. And most gun violence isn't mass shootings.
Plus, there's the ever-present specter of medical bankruptcy.
I didn't say the US doesn't have issues, just that looking at the whole picture -- and comparing with other countries, it's not that horrible.
In Sweden economic opportunities are slightly fewer. Not that it really matters, if you live in modern Western country you're doing pretty well.
Which is a bigger problem - guns everywhere or cars everywhere?
Guns fucking everywhere is a problem. Lots of Americans think so. Yes, we absolutely execute people -- and our criminal justice system is a completely sham, especially if you're not white and rich.
Oh, and God save you from our health care economics.
If I weren't American, I'd absolutely never come here. In fact, I am American, and I'm actively researching ways to establish residency elsewhere.
