Notice that Australian mass shootings are in the single digits. That'd be an improvement in the U.S.

Nice try, though.

Notice the difference in population. A small town that has 1 murder every 20 years is equal to a big city that has 1 every day. Try and keep up...I know it's hard to think through complex problems ;)

U.S. population 327,200,000
Australia population 24,600,000
We have 302,600,000 more people than Australia

I highly recommend you actually look at the post...because you completely missed the entire point.

No, an improvement in the US would be the demise of people like you.

Nice try graph but you couldn't hide your secrets from me. If you look to the sides of the graph you will notice that both sides have different numbers for the same bars and that each side is labeled differently. The left side (with the smaller rates) is the Australian Homicide rate where the maximum even without gun control was near 2.0. The American Homoside rate was on the right side and even at its lowest, the homoside rate was over 5.4.

If you look to the bottom left of the graph you can notice that this was made by a company called Speed Holster, and if you type in it's URL it shows what this really is. This is an advertisement to make guns feel more appealing by a company that sells it to American citizens. They manipulate the image to make it look like Australia is worse than America and that guns keep people safe when that could not be further from the truth. They put the real facts on it to prevent any legal issues but they minimize the size to make it hard to spot.

So there we have it, sorry to rant like this but this really ticked me off and is very dishonest and I wanted to make sure that people wouldn't be fooled by this again.
