It's not simple at all, I absolutely agree. And leaving family behind sucks. On the other hand I know several people who left Europe and moved to Australia and Canada for example. It can work even though it won't be easy for everyone involved. But if the alternative is having my kids get shot at school I'd still try. Plus all the social security that's missing in the US would probably make other countries more attractive to me too.

That's fair. I'd probably be a lot more motivated to leave if I had kids to think about.
