"In the United States, there are 3.2 gun homicides per 100,000 residents every year. Switzerland has the next highest rate of any advanced Western democracy, at 0.7 per 100,000. After Switzerland, the rate drops to 0.5 in Ireland and Canada; 0.4 in Sweden and Finland; 0.2 in New Zealand, Spain and Germany; 0.1 in France, Britain and Australia; and a flat 0 in Japan." Note that the article very carefully compares ONLY "gun homicides", instead of total homicides. Evidently the WP thinks being murdered with a gun makes the victim deader than murder with some other implement of violence.
Evidently the WP thinks being murdered with a gun makes the victim deader than murder with some other implement of violence. Jerry Clower, from Liberty, Mississippi could explain how you can't get no deader than stone-cold-dead, right there.
Sorry, that's a southern thing.
