“World Murder Statistcs”: Murderers 7, Victims 0.

Something very simple you can verify for yourself in a couple of minutes is this fact ~ in the last century over 52 million people were murdered with firearms in Europe.

The United States had only a small fraction of that number.

Use that when some leftwingtard tells you she'd like America to be more like Europe.

I think that it is real, seems like I saw it here on FR a while back.

i used to live in the USVI, after while you start feeling like a fugitive from the law of statistics...

I would question these stats. I went to another site: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_mur_percap-crime-murders-per-capita&date=2006 which lists murder rates by country. Their stats are for 2006. They list Turkey as the most deadly with only 18.4 per 100,000, way below what this one has for the most deadly. Also This one has no European country in it except for Russia. I found one other list which had Greenland for 2006 at 19.2 the same as this list.

Something does not compute.

>>>>The United States 4.2

ALL the countries above America have 100% gun bans.<<<<

With all due respect your list is absolute incorrect.

First of all murder statistics counted differently in most countries. For that reason some of them with twice figures of the United States are practically safer than most American inner cities.

Second. Jamaica, Estonia and Lithuania has probably more gun freedom comparing to United States.
In Jamaica they had a gun ban in 1974. It led to massive protests and crime rise so it was lifted. They are allowed to own and carry everything except artillery, grenades and military grade select-fire guns (semi-auto AK and evil “black rifle” are pretty legal).

Russia, Mexico, Kazakhstan has no 100% gun ban as well.
(AK-47 and AR-15 semi-auto considered hunting and home-defense things in Russia. Thus short handgun ownership require tons of paperwork you still can’t say it’s banned).

It is only what I know. I’m sure most of the above has no 100% gun bans as well and 80% are practically safer than Detroit.

Would not surprise me....some of the numbers I have seen before

The US does have a low murder rate compared to many gun-control nations. It is high compared to Western Europe...but low compared to the Third World
