No group should ever be generalized.

Aint' that the truth!

Thanks for proving Democrats have a secret desire to ban handguns. Nice to see one of you finally admit it. Kudos!

The Supreme Court decision D.C. v. Heller (2008) protects private handgun ownership, but this chart shows exactly why that's a bad idea

That decision should be overturned. Same as all of you who want to overturn Roe v. Wade!

I support Roe v. Wade sooooo Strike Two for you.

"all of you" = read politics stream conservatives at large.

Your own politics on abortion is not truly important to this discussion. But good to hear you have some sense on it.

*You* make a personal attack or lie about me instead of posting "the Republicans", then it's very relevant to the discussion. *You* are wrong and you failed to apologize for it.

Your efforts to take offense to being lumped in with Republicans when you’re espousing conservative opinions does not make it important

You are free to lie about people and make all of the personal attacks you like. I'm free to correct you. Have a nice day!

Nothing I said was a personal attack. You’re the expert on your own beliefs.

(note: this image doesn't separate homicide from suicide)

Sure, your chart makes it look like a lot, until you take sheer population into account. Number 1 on theat list, El Salvador, only has a population of just over 6 million. Venezuela, ~32 million. Guatemala, ~17 million.

The point is the /actual number/ of deaths by gun may look high, but if you look at /rate/ based on population, the US isn't anywhere near the top, especially when you separate out suicides.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

If you sort the list there by rate, the US is way down at number 89

Hell, The US isn't even in the top 10 countries for MASS shootings, at least up to 2015. Liberal darling Norway is way ahead of the US in that regard, when it comes to per capita.

It only seems like the US has a higher rate, again, due to sheer population size.

Fine. Go with this then. The underlying data is from UNODC.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

United States: Ranked #143. Murder rate: 5.30. (2017)
Japan: Ranked #11. Murder rate: 0.2. (2017)

This source actually shows Japan is even more than 5x safer for homicide victims, which was my claim above. More like 51x.

Attacking my sources is a pointless exercise. I will always be able to find new sources, because my data is correct. Japan is a whole lot safer than the U.S. for homicide/crime victims, point blank.

You will not find any credible study that disagrees, and the data is so clear on this that I don't think you'll even find any incredible ones.

Switzerland.

United States: Ranked #143. So 142 countries have a higher murder rate. Got it.
Thanks for that credible study.
But...
One again you are using an outdated source, But what's 3 years to someone unable to grow up.
Updated data places America 185th of 230 countries, But don't let that stop you from embarrassing yourself with your clear undeniable credible source.

Feel free to move to Japan to escape all the evil guns you imagine are trying to kill you.

You will not stop lying and posting outdated sources. The data is so clear on this.

You're so terrified of inanimate objects you can't think, So you'll continue to post the same garbage on every Meme about guns until you have a fatal heart attack from your imaginary fears.

“3 years out of date” lol. obviously we don’t have the data from 2020 yet. Or even 2019.

You could compare data from 2018 but it is not going to be all that different from 2017, which is what I posted because it was easiest to find on that chart. Countries just don’t change all that much from year to year.

Again: the proper comparison on this issue is to other rich-world countries, that are well-governed with rule of law. Not Honduras. Not the Congo. Not Yemen. Not El Salvador.

Compare apples to apples: the U.S. to Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Japan.

Switzerland.
