In light of the ongoing gun-related violence in the US, Amnesty International has issued a travel advisory for the US. (See details below.) I have traveled in places with travel advisories, and have done so with a clear sense of the dangers, along with safety plans etc, as needed. In the US, however, despite rampant gun ownership and violence, most countries still do not have travel advisories against travel into the US.
Until that gap is reconciled, advisories recognize the extent of the problem, and there are meaningful safety plans in place for travelers into the US (as there would be if such levels of random gun violence were taking place anywhere else, for example), I do not plan on entering the US. I encourage others to do the same. 🙂
