Gloria: Do you know that sixty percent of all deaths in America are caused by guns?
Archie Bunker: Would it make you feel any better, little girl, if they was pushed out of windows?
Factor the illegals out of the statistics and the United States would be even further down the list of gun-related (and other forms of) violence. With over 20,000,000 illegals swarming all over the land, that’s more than sufficient to grossly inflate the numbers to make America appear more dangerous.

We have 89 guns for ever 100 residents?

I don’t really care about how someone is murdered but rather whether they are murdered.
The U.S. ranks 98th overall in the world in murder rate, putting us on the better side of midpack.
That said, a quick look at that list shows African/S.American countries with the highest murder rates and European/Asian countries with the lowest rates.
European-Americans have a murder rate comparable to Europeans, while African-Americans have a murder rate comparable to Africans.
2nd Amendment bump for later..........
The price to pay to ensure freedom from tyranny. The people of the United States own more firearms than most of the world’s armies combined. And that’s just the stuff they know about. There’s a reason our founding fathers created the second amendment, with it’s absolute certainty.
“U.S. #1 By Far In Gun Ownership—But Only 28th In Gun Murder Rate”
Sounds like we’ve got alot of catchin up to do.
Remove black on black gang crime and we would drop out of the top 50.
“the U.S. has the 28th highest homicide by firearm rate of the countries in the report. …”
I know we can do better than this...U!S!A! U!S!A!
The top 3 Countries on the U.N. list are Honduras, El Salvador, and Jamaica. The U.S. is #28 on the U.N. list.
Thank you for posting this.
I am going to use it on several forums where I’m debating with people from various foreign countries who can’t figure out why Americans don’t just go ahead and ban private firearms because it would reduce our crime rate.
Facts are stubborn things and it looks like the facts are on our side here.
It may have be already posted somewhere here at "FR" but it's worth seeing again...
Sometimes the little things can give you heart...
Every time I meet somebody who claims that gun control will make America “safer,” I remind them that for the past several years, Mexico has had one of the highest per capita murder rates in the world, and it’s impossible for a civilian to own a handgun in Mexico and very difficult to own long arms.
Gun control sure made Sinaloa and Juarez safe!
More than 50% of USA gun murders are committed by Blacks.
Hispanics commit about 20% of gun murders.
Whites commit only 25%-30% of gun murders.
The gun murder rate by White Americans is about 2 per 100,000.
The gun murder rate by Whites in Switzerland is about 1 per 100,000.
