America seems to have a blase culture about actually preventing these mass-shootings after they occur outside of virtue-signaling (see the popular Onion trope "No Way to Prevent This") but at the same time one could have the concern of certain entities unfairly targeting certain otherwise benign platforms that may have been used by individuals encouraging certain criminal acts with liability thus leading to concerns like the stripping of Section 230 publisher protections and the resulting chilling effects on free-speech. |

The truth is that people value the freedoms that allow these shootings more than they value preventing them.
It's simply not acceptable to say that you're okay with people dying sometimes but people make these decisions constantly when there's not someone publicly pleading to think of the children.
Guns is the example here but that's just where Europeans see a big discrepancy in conclusion but the same decisions are made everywhere. Americans just have a slightly different position but that slight difference is magnified because the vast majority of other positions are very similar.
