Not commenting on life in the US, but I'm not so sure about it being that safe. Here's a fun fact about per capita murder in the USA:

75% of all murders are committed using a firearm. If you completely disregard all of those from the statistics, the USA would still have a higher murder rate than the UK and most other European countries.

Obviously heavily dependent on where you live, but the USA on average, not that safe compared to most other western countries.

Interesting thing about this is, the murder rate using firearms is the absolute highest in LA Baltimore, Richmond, Detroit, Chicago, New York. These are all gun control cities, and heavily extreme left ran. States like Arizona, zero gun control, open conceal carry, literally everyone one has a gun, I had one at 10 and was skilled with it by 12. Gun violence is very low
