gun violence per 100k 2019 statistics

Even this site has many countries at 0 because of the fact that the amount of guns per deaths is literally at less than 1%. They do this by rounding the average and until it gets to a significant amount past 0% it still gets plotted as close to 0 as possible.

It makes sense and OP's graph is accurate. Learn to read a graph. I picked 1 line that went to 0 because it was the easiest way to show that while those countries did not actually have truly 0 guns per homicide rates it's just that the guns are less than a significant percentage to really make a visible difference on the graph.

It's not exactly pretty, which you freely admit. But you did a very good job laying out the information. You see the most relevant countries data while the lesser known are not labeled. It still gives you the overall data. You did a very good job on it. It clearly shows that countries with more access to guns readily are more likely to have mass violence essentially. Also to what extent compared to gun availability.
