US murder rate was also far higher than Western Europe before either country started cracking down on guns. Of course, when you start looking Demographics, the murder rates for Caucasians in the US is not materially different than in Europe.
I read years ago that just taking the Black crimes out made the numbers lower than Europe.

Absolutely correct. I don’t know right off hand what the murder rate is in Chicago or Detroit or St Louis or DC or any huge city with a huge ghettosized central or even spread out area. But the rate is very different and hugely higher than out here in the Big Empty. Demographics largely explains it as the people out in the Big Empties of the US tend to be Caucasians except in the southern South.
Cut out black on black murder in the inner city and we’re way lower
It skews the stats
