It's not simple at all, I absolutely agree. And leaving family behind sucks. On the other hand I know several people who left Europe and moved to Australia and Canada for example. It can work even though it won't be easy for everyone involved. But if the alternative is having my kids get shot at school I'd still try. Plus all the social security that's missing in the US would probably make other countries more attractive to me too.
The alternative of having your kids shot is incredibly rare. If you wanted to complain about danger for your kids in the US, I would critique the crazy danger of cars and driving here rather than these absolutely rare school shootings
Thisthisthis. I have kids, I'm not at all worried about them getting shot, sure it's "possible" but it's just so improbable that it's not something I even think about. But holy shit, the way people drive in my neighborhood, I'll be a nervous wreck when my kids start walking or biking to the park by themselves…

That's fair. I'd probably be a lot more motivated to leave if I had kids to think about.
