I wondered how long it would take to figure that out. It was exactly my point.

Now compare the US with Mexico (10/100k), Colombia (27.1), Brazil (18.1), Argentina (3), Venezuela (39). The UN report says that homicides by firearm, mostly of males under 30, is at crisis levels.

I do not deny the figures or that they are atrocious. But let's also keep them in perspective when discussing this topic.
