That's starting with the premise that the vast majority gives two shits about what's going in the US regarding crime
How many times do you wake up in the morning thinking about crime, in let's say, europe
Unless somebody post something making you think about it, you don't think much about it, if at all. Your immediate concern is crime in the US, in your state, your area, to be more accurate, because it's not the thugs half way across the globe that you worry about the most. Well same deal for most europeans
two shits about what's going in the US regarding crime
Considering I've heard Europeans say this more than I can count, yes, absolutely they do. They do because their lying media has constantly placed the lies into their head.
The only person making assumptions here is you.
Considering I've heard Europeans say
You've read them, not heard... That's not "Europeans", that's just an online fringe, and if it was very right wing europeans, chances are it was the fringe of the fringe in an echo chamber...
I'm not an utopian, I'm a realist, and I actually live in western europe
I honestly don't care that your feelings are hurt by the facts. The fact is, American crime rates are well publicized throughout Europe and lies are spun specifically to demonize gun ownership and moralize non-whites living among whites. You can pretend this isn't the case but I've literally never encountered a European (in person or online) who has not been indoctrinated with these lies.
Cry somewhere else. I don't care if the facts hurt your feelings. There's a reason Europeans believe America is dangerous. Now they have first hand experience as a juxtaposition as to the real reasons why. It's not guns.
