      You literally made that up. It’s the US and a few unstable countries in South America.

      South Africa, one of the highest homicide rate countries in the world, with a murder rate 6.5x higher than the US, has half the gun homicide rate of the US.

      India has has 1 gun homicide per 100k. The US has 11 per 100k.

      But yeah. Keep telling us how everywhere outside of Europe and Australia is like this. It’s BS.

      That’s absolutely not true. Data shows the only countries with higher gun deaths per capita than the US are all central and parts of South America. E.g., India’s per capita gun death rate is 0.56 vs 4.12 in the US.

        Why are only English-speaking countries relevant?

        But fine, Sudan. South Sudan. South Africa. Liberia. Sierra Leone. Ghana. Nigeria. Jamaica.
