You've got three options:
1. Lock yourself in a safe-house, don't leave and hope for the best. (Do go up on any ladders or fall in the bathroom , as more people are killed that way then by people using firearms, legally or illegally.
2. Have total anarchy. Anything goes. Kill or be killed. Do whatever you want for as long as you can get away with it.
3. Live in the US. Look at the stats. 30,000 killed by firearms, all-in? That's 1.3% of ALL DEATHS. Take out suicides and it drops by a third. Stay out of a gang and don't deal drugs, drops even more. It's not that people can kill with guns with total impunity (I know - some get away with it). You get caught, there's a system in place and you get dealt your punishment. That's how it is.
The US has a gun culture. It also has a lot of nuts that fall through the cracks. And it has a lot of evil people. Shit happens. Sucks when it happens to a child, a complete innocent or someone you know. Or you. But that's life.
Try to change the system - it can be done - look at marijuana. Or move to a "safer" place. Or get on with your life and enjoy everyday.
Peace and Love, brothers and sisters.
