>America seems to have a blase culture about actually preventing these mass-shootings after they occur outside of virtue-signaling

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.
