America is ranked 3rd in gun violence out of 193 countries.

So clearly, America is incredibly unsafe and dangerous…right?

However this is where it gets interesting. If you were to remove Detroit, LA, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Chicago; America would fall to 189 out 193.

Ironically these five cities are liberal run with some of the most strictest gun laws.

Perfect example of how politicians can ruin a city.

Please show your math, I’m calling bullshit. There are several dozen other extremely violent large cities in the US.

I added up: New Orleans, Baltimore, St Louis, Oklahoma City, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Newark, Cincinnati, Louisville, Memphis, Birmingham, Cleveland, Phoenix and that totaled 2,271 murders in 2024.

There are so many more violent murder-ridden cities in the USA I haven’t accounted for.

To put the 2,271 murder figure in perspective, these countries had less murder’s in 2023/2023: Australia (448), Canada (788), Japan (912), Germany (661), Argentina (≈2000), Italy (334). This list could go on and on and on. And I only totaled up homicides from 14 cities.
