The USA has, by far, the highest per capita gun ownership in the world. Progressives will tell you that this is what makes America the Murder Capitol of Planet Earth. But we're not, and in this devastatingly effective Firewall, Bill Whittle shows why the center of Gun Nut Nation is in fact one of the safest places in the world.
take away SOB murders and the US would be very far to the bottom of the list
What do all these cities have in common?
> Detroit doesn’t have strict gun control. Michigan is one of the most pro-gun states in the nation, and no city can restrict guns beyond state law.
Well then obviously they need to change their demographic makeup to achieve a lower murder rate...
Bingo! It’s demographics. If you remove black gangbangers killing each other from the US stats we have very little murder in the US.

ALL (109) of the countries above America,
HAVE 100% gun bans.
It might be of interest to note that SWITZERLAND is not shown on this list, because it has...NO MURDER OCCURRENCE!
However, SWITZERLAND'S law requires that EVERYONE:
1. Own a gun.
2. Maintain Marksman qualifications ... regularly.
Did you learn anything from this?
I think the message is - loud and clear.
GUN bans and restrictions.
DO NOT work!
This, BTW, included self-defense or justifiable homicide.
yer counting “gun” murders.
He finished with total murders and our global ranking on the scoreboard?
#211 Nearly dead last.
See, the liberals want to talk about gun violence as if it is a primary cause of murder, when it is the actual commitment of the act of murder that is the issue.
So, did you and I watch the same video? We sure did but, comprehension is important and context of understanding is as well.
We rank about in the middle of murders by guns.
We rank nearly dead last in murders per capita and that is the issue.
“We’re 211!!! Yeahhhh...I think”
According to this wiki we are #1 in per capita gun onwnership.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_guns_per_capita_by_country
Chicago has a higher murder rate than Zimbabwe !!!
Then you should check out more of his videos. Excellent stuff. Go to youtube and search for him.
I won't miss one now.
High concentrations of Feral Amish?
Yes? We are...
And?
That is well known and pointed out in the article.
Bill Whittle is amazingly good.
the number 211 was pointed out by Bill as an example of what where the USA would rank if the per capita were in gun nut crazy Plano, TX.
Sorry for the mistake.
He and Andrew Klavan are amazing.
I bet, without cheating, that it’s Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, Somalia, and South Africa. Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan don’t count because a lot of the bodies are war casualties. I bet the murder rate in Iran is zero or close to it.
Take out all the criminal on criminal murders and we do even better. One of our dark spots is the number of domestic partner murders.
Interesting that the homicide rate for USVI was 52.6, third highest after Honduras and Venezuela. Puerto Rico was 16th at 26.5. US was 112th at 4.7/100,000. Canada was 171st at 1.6 per 100,000, the UK was 192nd at 1.0.
