http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate
As of 2012 we placed 91st on the list.
At one point, I crunched the numbers, and if you removed the murders by blacks and Hispanics, the US murder rate would be about what the Western European murder rate is.
Gun grabbers always point to Europe and European settled countries as cultures the US should emulate.
However, from where does the left want to bring in immigrants, the cultures murdering each other.
Those cultures are already driving up the US rate.
As Ann Coulter pointed out, eliminate their stats from overall US, and murder rate is about same as Belgium
