What is America like with all those guns around?

I wake up to the sound of gunshots at 5 AM, and I brush the shotgun shells off my bedsheets and glance at the bullet holes in my ceiling and the blood stains on my bedroom carpet. I get up to remember the wincing pain from where I was shot in my lower leg a few days ago. I go into the bathroom and, after doing my business and washing my hands, I load my AR-15 and two handguns that I bring to school daily. I eat a breakfast of one of several unhealthy things in my cupboard and light up a cigar. After I finish my cigar, I pack my AR-15 in my backpack, one handgun in my lunchbox, and one handgun in my left pocket. I head off to school, witnessing an average of four gun deaths on the walk to school, but on a good day I only see two. This is nothing compared to the average of twenty-six students and three teachers that die during the school days. As school goes out, the six or seven students that shot people spend thirty minutes in detention. Usually the detention teacher is the third teacher. On my walk home I can usually phase out any shootings that happen. I go home to find my door’s hinges shot off and everything but my laptop stolen. I go on Quora, light up another cigar, and complain about how the government is too big and how it should be easier to get a gun.

Obviously, only the part about me going on Quora and complaining about the government is true. We have almost no problems with guns, even though there are more guns than people in the US.
