The pattern is that while the US has more murders, it actually has less crime overall than several other Western countries. Another factor to consider is that murders in the US are not randomly distributed. They are instead highly concentrated among Black inner city drug gangs. 68% of all counties in the US experience 1 or fewer murders per year. I doubt either crime or murder is similarly concentrated like that in any other Western country.
I agree, except for your capitalization of the word "black".
I live in a rural area where "everybody" has a gun, but the only murder I've heard about in the 13 years I've lived here was the murder of a neighbor's horse.
