This makes a lot of sense, if you consider how low the homicide rate is, in their countries of origin.

wtf Mexico 😭

This map is incredible.

The USA and Brazil are basically mid-level war zones. Parts of Africa are less #ShitholeCountry than they are.

Different cultures

Doesn't the greater access to guns in the US actually just explain everything and u don't need to get complicated with race or other weird explanations? Germans don't get to own huge guns, right?

Some European countries have high weapon ownership because of military service and hunting and stuff, but those tend to be rifles or weapons kept at the shooting range and stuff.

Americans just seem to like shooting each other, mostly, and all felony crime is pretty bad. 🤷🏻‍♀️

That's like the Swedes with their gun thing. Totally unrelated to Americans and THEIR gun thing.

In Germany, you can own almost all semi-automatic weapons, just like in the US. But you habe to be a hunter or sport shooter.

guns are also stored at home inside of a gun safe

There is also a huge number of assault rifles from East German stocks and from the former Yugoslavia

Yeah, out here in the Bavarian Boonies, there are probably more guns than people. We have two gun clubs, and archery club, and a hunting club, within 10 miles of my house.

We only have accidental shootings and suicides, tho. No violent crime, at all.

In my opinion gun suicides are not gun related and a lot safer then people jumping from bridges or of trains

Ugh, I hate the train suicides. Seen one, once. 😬

oh shit … never saw one … but was effected in transit

they need sunshine. i saw a study somewhere how much worse this phenomena is in wintertime darkness.

It is awash with guns, tho, like a war zone.

I mean, it actually is a war zone, by statistics. There are safe parts of Ukraine and Russia, as well.

Listen Linda, our guns are our God given right to defend our property and family.

I'm old. Explain what "Linda" means in this context. Is that a reference I should understand?

🙄 It was a vid of a young spanish kid man splaining to his mom. He would say “ Listen Linda”

Yeah, I know. 🙄

You do you. 🤙🏻

More chart porn.

The only state similarly-safe to France or Great Britain is Iowa, which is mostly farms. You're more-likely to be killed in Utah or Idaho, than in Portugal or Italy, and they are both completely overrun with migrants and refugees. And immigration is now trending down.

Even if everyone from Gaza moved to Europe, Europe would probably remain safer.

Sort of destroys a lot of narratives.

Almost all the homicides in the U.S. are gang related murders in inner cities. This is a perfect example of having to go beyond just the numbers. If you’re not in a gang, your “safety” is of absolutely no concern. That doesn’t sell fear porn though.

It's the same here. Irrelevant to the point.

You are stating that you are more likely to be killed in Utah or Idaho; gigantic land masses with very spread out populations. There are tiny sections within specific cities that are of any concern at all. No one goes there other than gang members living there. Your framing of the issue is inappropriate.

You could say the same about Norway. It's bigger than Idaho.

Yes. Agreed. My point is that there really isn’t a big violence issue in any of these places except for very small enclaves where 99% of it happens. It’s basically a non-issue for non-gang citizens.

More people died in Europe for heart than guns in United state. Europe people need improve homes and make cooled space for Europe people than get people from Gaza.
