but seriously would love to visit America, NYC, California, Vegas, Georgia etc. But the gun crime aspect kinda scares me

guess thats a whole 'nother debate huh?

Come visit, don't let a tilted tables of reporting scare you. The news media outside of the USA scours for every sort of gun crime headline and brings it up front and centre and holds it up high as if to say "See! Look at those yanks and the problems they're having with their guns!"
When in actuality, those problems exist in areas where those type of problems are constant and nobody visits there on purpose. All the beautiful places in America remain secure.
