I doubt your figures are accurate. But it is a meaningless stat anyway.
Its guns.
Of course not. Guns are inanimate objects.Gosh, it can't be all our guns causing so much violence.
We have more firearms, in real numbers and per capita, than the rest of the developed world.We must have an exceptional rate of crazies than the rest of the developed world.
Let's use this TardLogic in another area.Of course not. Guns are inanimate objects.
They can't cause anything.

People are pretty much the same all over the world. Americans are no more violent than folk in the civilised world.Gotcha, so guns commit the crimes, not the gun owner. And I thought you were stupid. Nailed it!
So you lay one of these evil guns on the ground and leave it there. How long does it sit there until it rises up and shoots someone? LOL, what a dumb ass.
Um ... no Kaz, it's the gun that commits the crime, ...
Priceless
White Americans, anyway.People are pretty much the same all over the world. Americans are no more violent than folk in the civilised world.
Said no rational, reasoned person ever.Its guns.
Oh, so now the problem is negroes.White Americans, anyway.

Mentally ill negroes.

Liberalism is a disease that removes your ability to reason and accept facts contrary to your agenda.You don't know that blacks commit crimes at higher rates in this country than whites? Seriously? How stupid are you? Seriously, how stupid?

Don't forget the revolving door in a prisons.I can not understand how the news media fails to see the real problem in America today. There are millions of Gun and assault rifles owners that live in America today. And they are not mass killers. The real problem is mentally ill people with guns and or assault rifles. It seems that the news media networks have this agenda to demonize assault rifles and guns in America. These two items are not active until a person picks them up. Wake up America, and see what is really going on.!? There should be a psychological test to screen purchasers of all weapons before they can be sold, to weed out the nut cases. Your thoughts.?
Yes, of course, we have much higher mental illness rate than other countries.
We have tens of millions who support Trump: there is your proof.
So there is a direct correlation to our guns and our homicide rate.We have more firearms, in real numbers and per capita, than the rest of the developed world.
So?
Myth: Mass shootings are caused by mental illness. Despite many conservative politicians’ and the NRA’s frequent invocation of mental illness, little evidence exists to suggest that mental illness is to blame for U.S. mass shootings. This common misconception was echoed most recently by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), when he spoke on the deadly mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde: “[W]e as a society need to do a better job with mental health. … Anybody who shoots somebody else has a mental health challenge.”4 This claim runs directly counter to a body of evidence-based research that finds people living with mental illness are far more likely to become victims of violence than perpetrators.5
Fact: While every country is home to people living with mental illness, the United States is the only country in the world that experiences mass shootings daily. An estimated 1 in 5 Americans live with a diagnosed mental illness.6 While other countries have similar levels of mental illness, none have the levels of mass shootings that the United States does. Moreover, countries with strong gun oversight experience significantly less gun violence.7

Gosh, it can't be all our guns causing so much violence. We must have an exceptional rate of crazies than the rest of the developed world.
Yeah, that's it.
