I really hope you hit your break even

Me too, that chart when broken down shows some pretty interesting info. Germany for example has quite a high percent of gun owners (30 per 100 inhabitants) with an extremely low homicide rate (0.06 per 100k). It's the 6th most armed country with 12th lowest homicide rate. What's the difference? No fucking clue tbh but I wonder... Similar situation in Switzerland, similarly armed and minus the US it's considered quite high compared to the rest of the world (with easy access to semi and full auto guns) but a very low homicide rate. Hell, if you look at most of the highest armed countries, the top 10 is almost entirely developed countries that happen to also have significantly lower homicide rates. Is gang violence in the US the difference then? Mass shootings too? Honestly pretty surprised by this data
