i would note that other countries dont have to contend with a second amendment that we have here. but lets look at switzerland where gun ownership is rather similar to US gun ownership in that most weapons on the market are allowed. they have about 24 guns per one hundred people on average, about two million guns in a country of eight million population, but they dont have school shooting problems there now do they? and yes the people there are allowed to CARRY their guns, just not concealed without a permit.
That is why the USA is unique. You and I individually, are as sovereign as each and every nation, including our own.
No other people of any nation, ar afforded that freedom.

As a whole, our country has seen a decline of firearms violence since it's peak in 1993. The exceptions seem to be our inner cities, and mass type shootings. Both are separate and unique issues which are going to require complex solutions. Ones a simple blanket ban like H.R. 5087 will not solve.
Inner city violence
Mental health issues
Those are the two factors we need to analyze and form solutions to. Have we seen our politicians mention a thing about these ? Nope. It's bump stocks, age restrictions or ban the evil AR.
Until we focus on those two factors things will never change.

IIRC though, they are forced to do military time, thus receive better than you average American's gun ownership/safety training. Plus universal healthcare and all.

Aaaah; wouldn't it be prudent to ask if other nations want to go down on the list of individual freedoms before stating they are "afforded" being less free?
What is it about not being among the top ten and sinking yearly do you not comprehend?
South Africa

being white in south africa should be enough to document need since it is apparently white farmer hunting season all year.
Not a gun guy but what a stupid and blatantly biased story.

I'll fix it for you: "Most other first world nations do not desire to be as limited in individual freedoms as the U.S."
What does that have to do with my freedom?
That is irrelevently emotional instead of factual. There is a difference in being subjects of the state and being a sovereign individual. You seem to have no understanding of that and conflate the two.
CDC statistics don't lie.
Guns in the hands of the public, save 1000's of more lives than they take, including suicides.
