Why are some Americans insecure and whiny?

the good people with guns
cops
waited outside 45 -an hr while that idiot gunned down innocent young lives .
this is why I say americans dont step outside the country
they will be shocked when they see the lack of school shootings in countries like australia without arming teachers. its like something out of magic book to them.

Why would they even steep outside their country? They got all the resource available to them, and america is big enough for trips and exploration activities.
And calm down, the random people are arming themselves because the guns are available everywhere, open gun shops in autralia, make the use of arms accessible and in some months, half the country will be armed.
The problem is located at the top of the foundation, the laws are badly made, hatting rando citizens is lame af.

am not hating random citizens
in fact am doing the opposite
I dont blame them . They dont know better ; they are ignorant.
why would they step outside the country?
unfortunately I doubt most can but it would help to educate themselves.
to realize the country they pride themselves on has laws that are completely outdated and embarrassing for a country that prides itself on being a first world country in the modern world. ultimately it is on them to vote in people that can do that. younger people are open to it thankfully so there's some hope.

Well
I think first off the gun issue here gets framed as a problem of "gun culture" which makes it further alienating to non-Americans or frankly even Americans in blue states what the real divide here is.
There was a surge of purchase of weapons during the pandemic that really drives home that fear is what drives gun ownership and purchases. You don't need to understand anything other than people's compulsion to want to protect themselves. Self defense is a fundamental right and Imo it's the exception and not the rule that countries disallow weapon ownership, defending yourself and your property by any means available was historically non controversial.
Anyway there's an inherent push and pull because it's hard to find a middle ground in gun control measures where you're not also punishing the bulk of law abiding people with measures to deter bad actors who may just acquire weapons anyway. Predictably collective punishment is massively unpopular.

I dont blame them . They dont know better ; they are ignorant.- lmfao, ok dude, everyone is expert on internet, but in reality they have no power, those random citizen are not ignorants and I already explained to you that if weapons were available in your country, the population would arm itself. Those choices of arming/not arming people are made at the top of the foundations.
``unfortunately I doubt most can but it would help to educate themselves.``- Do you think that the americans dont have money to travel or what? Whats your statistics on this subject? If you would have consulted at least 1 forum with tralev and tourism statistics you would have seen that over 70% of americans travel at least once per year outside of their country and are top spenders when they do it in comparation with other countries.
Damn you rly hate americans do you? Their people are shit, your people are good, I wonder who is ignorant here.

thanks for being reasonable first off while giving your perspective
parkland happened before the pandemic due to laws that were present before the pandemic so honestly I see these shootings as more of a recurring problem that the country has always had regardless of the pandemic . The concern to protect oneself is genuine but the need to do so with a gun is also heightened by the fact that criminal in all likelihood have access to guns themselves.
law abiding citizens who think guns are vital to their protection most I reckon have not lived in environments where guns are less prevalent in society. as someone who has I think the first step is assuring enough people that this is possible . I brought up other countries as an example to residents here. Am fairly certain a lot are able to protect themselves without guns. america isnt the only country with criminals or mentally ill people.
collective punishment is massively unpopular but on gun control you will be surprised . Most americans would be in favor for stricter gun control measures.
