I worry this is a valid excuse for missing school, sneaking out of a concert, doing doughnuts on a lawn, etc.
Pistols are lethal a mile out from where they were fired. Can you imagine how many guns are within a mile radius in many parts of America ?
It seems taking a trip to Mexico is also a valid way to escape gun violence.
Canada would be. Mexico's homicide rate is almost 5x higher than the USA.

Google "us homicide rate" and then "mexico homicide rate". It'll take you 5 seconds.
Apparently it's only bad for Mexicans:
Using those figures, the murder rate of U.S. citizens in Mexico was around 0.26 per 100,000 visitors, significantly lower than the rate in the United States.
Tourists choose the safest areas of the country to visit, and they don't stay very long, so yeah that makes sense. You're not really escaping gun violence in the USA if you only leave the country for a few days, though.
