Is America really the most gun violent nation?

December 21, 2023. A 24-year-old man murdered his father, then shot up a university, killing 14 and wounding 25 before killing himself. Just another horror story from gun violent America? Not quite. It happened in Prague, the Czech Republic. How can this be? Everyone knows America, because of our sinister “gun culture” is far more violent than anywhere else on Earth.

Should one have the misfortune to believe our democrat/Socialist/Communist media, they’d think America a cesspool of “gun violence,” unparalleled in all the world. Anyone daring to step outdoors is certain to be filled with lead, always by “Ultra-MAGA white supremacists,” and lately by radical Catholics, Christians who like the Latin Mass. None are apparently more violent than Christians who speak or understand Latin, or merely appreciate its connection to their history and faith.

Yes, America has more guns in private hands than any other nation, and Americans, no dummies, have been buying more than 1,000,000 guns a month for the last 4+ years. Actually, that figure derives from a million federal background checks per month, and since one may buy multiple guns with a single background check–-a single visit to a dealer—the number of guns sold is surely significantly higher. Yet, America is far safer than most nations, as this classic Bill Whittle video—Number One With A Bullet--illustrates, America is not first, tenth, not even fiftieth in the world in per capita homicides, but one hundred eleventh. The video was produced about eight years ago, but the numbers are little, if at all, changed.

Eliminating statistics from our most murderous, d/S/C ruled cities, if we had the same per capita murder rate as Plano, Texas–-.4 per 100,000–which Whittle affirms one of the best armed cities in America, we’d be not one hundred eleventh in the world, but two hundred eleventh in the world:

If not America, what are the top ten most violent countries in the world?

1) Honduras
2) Venezuela
3) United States Virgin Islands
4) Belize
5) El Salvador
6) Guatemala
7) Jamaica
8) Lesotho
9) Swaziland
10) Saint Kitts and Nevis

Note that all of these countries/territories are either socialist, strictly gun controlling, or both.

America is far safer than most nations, as this classic Bill Whittle video—Number One With A Bullet--illustrates, America is not first, tenth, not even fiftieth in the world in per capita homicides, but one hundred eleventh.

AND if you take out statistics for 'gun violence in the black community' we're near the bottom of violent countries in the world.

“Everyone knows America, because of our sinister “gun culture” is far more violent than anywhere else on Earth.

It’s hard to make that statement. An example of this is South Africa. The United States has the highest rate of private gun ownership in the world (88.8 guns for every 100 people), while South Africa ranks 50th, with a rate of 12.7 guns per 100 people. But gun ownership does not necessarily correlate with gun-related homicide: According to U.N. data, South Africa trumps the United States in that category, with a rate of 17 gun-related deaths per 100,000 people, as compared to the U.S. rate of 3.2.

So it’s in how you look at it. If you have more people, you have more guns, you have a greater opportunity to gun violence.

And weeding out the problem can be simple but very unfair. One way is by race. Black Americans, both male and female, are in a commanding lead in gun homicides. Black men delve out over 57% of gun deaths in the US according to the FBI. Should they be denied guns?

Using incomplete stats for this topic is nothing more than politicl agenda. So until someone comes up with a definitive way to be better than the crystal ball, nothing is going to work. And using the topic for political gain makes it worse.

Democrats had incentives to keep the black community desperate and violent. They’re trying to do the same thing to the rest of us... it’s a control tactic. We hate white liberal ‘elties’ with cause... they’re awful people.

Also, if you think the violence in the black community is bad - and it is bad - just think what’s it’s going to be like now that Biden and his goons have invited illegals from some of the most violent countries in the world to live among us. But NOT among them.

None of the illegals are being sent to Wilmington Delaware NONE going to where Hillary Billery Clinton - or where any of the other democrat ‘swells’ live. NONE to Obama’s Islands homes either...
