Mexico's gun homicide rate per capita is a bit higher than the U.S.
That doesn't make me feel any better about the gun violence problem in the U.S. though.
We are generally considered the most economically developed country in the world. And, we tend to herald ourselves as a country of law and order.
However, I don't think the latter is a view shared by a majority of people around the world anymore.
Out of 195 countries, the United States has the 31st highest rate of violent gun deaths in the world with 3.85 deaths per 100,000 people in 2016.
When sorted by GDP, however, the United States has a much higher violent gun death rate compared to other developed countries, with over 10 times the number of firearms assault deaths than the next four highest GDP countries combined. https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsod...-countries
So, what's your point Biggie?
