The USA isn't even in the top 100 countries for shootings.
I own many guns, but let's not be completely retarded here. There are only 195 countries in the world - how could it not be in the top 100?
"A 2015 Politifact article correcting then-President Barack Obama’s statement that no other advanced country experiences mass shootings like the U.S. cited data from 2000 to 2014 to prove that mass shootings do indeed happen in other advanced countries. However, the article conceded that the
U.S. experienced 133 shootings during that period, while the next-highest total was
Germany with six."
And that's just mass shootings. US is #2 for gun deaths overall.
Countries with the Highest Total Gun Deaths (all causes) in 2019
- Brazil — 49,436
- United States — 37,038
- Venezuela — 28,515
- Mexico — 22,116
- India — 14,710
- Colombia — 13,169
- Philippines — 9,267
- Guatemala — 5,980
We are also #18 for gun homicides per capita with all countries included, suicides excluded.
Like I said, I'm a pro-gun gun owner, but... you know, not retarded.
(Now, in sum: USA is #1 for mass shootings, #2 for all-cause per capita firearm death when suicides are included, #2 for strictly gun suicides per capita (Greenland is first). Now, it's true we are not in the top
ten for gun homicides per capita - those are all Latin American countries with high rates of gang violence - but we still have unusually high rates of firearm homicide per capita, and are absolutely in the top 100. We're something like 40th-50th in all homicides per capita, with the countries beating us being universally much less populous. Firearm homicide rates in the US are 13 times greater than they are in France, and 22 times greater than in the European Union as a whole, 23 times the rate of firearm homicide in Australia, etc.)
