Realistically, data on shootings per 1,000,000 for small countries is misleading and almost meaningless when related to the same data for countries with large populations.

That is due to the disproportionate impact of each occurance on small populations as compared to the impact on large populations.

Each shooting in the USA has only 1/10 the statistical impact of each shooting in a country with a population of only 30 million.

It would also be of interest to see the statistics excluding jihadists or jihadists sympathizers

Shh! Don’t question the narrative with logical thinking.

It detracts from the real issue - crazy homicidal maniacs and how to deal with those - vs. banning mere objects (guns) instead.
