In Europe, the gun murderer rate for whites is about 0.5 per 100,000.

In the USA, the gun murderer rate for whites is about 2.5 per 100,000 - about five times higher.

However, gun ownership in the USA is at least 10 times higher.

Also, in the USA murder statistics, North Africans and Middle East immigrants are classified as white, and Hispanics are allowed to self-identify as white.

“One country has seen over 500 mass shootings in 2023

That's the number of victims, the actual number of events involving a single shooter is 38.

Mass shootings is defined as an event involving four or more killings.

The United States has 38 times the population of Switzerland.

On sheer numbers, you would expect Switzerland to only have 1/38 time the number of any type of crime.

On the other hand, the Swiss have a significantly different set of cultures than do Americans.

If you look at Swiss-Americans, it is near certain their crime rate is comparable or lower than Swiss in Switzerland.
