Europe as a whole has a tiny fraction of the number that occur in the US. It wouldn't shock me if we had 10x as many, but the number there is not zero.

Widespread mass shootings are not a significant problem in the EU. They are in the US.

Nothing to the scale of America. You can group all the mass shootings across Europe over a decade and you still wouldn't be close to the level of bloodshed in America. Most weekends in the US are marked with multiple mass shootings.

America had 672 people die in 2022 from "mass shootings". 3,100,000 people died in the US in 2022. That's a .021% death rate from "mass shootings". Most of those deaths occurred in street level gang and drug violence, typically the casualties are made up of rival criminal enterprises.

Despite what the news leads you to believe, America is not some violent hell hole with high noon gunfights between crazed yahoos and innocent children. If you stay away from gang violence, you won't get shot.
