Switzerland is also heavily armed country. It’s not an argument here.

Switzerland is 75% Swiss and about 90% European.

and you're 100% racist.

There are less gun related deaths in morocco than there are in the united states[1][2]. Are moroccans simply inherently more trustworthy and responsible than americans? How about nicaraguans? cubans? tunisians? tanzanians? algerians? vietnamiese? indonesians? equadorians?

Sorry to hear that your cult ideology is failing to suppress reality. What's the corruption index on the countries you listed with "low gun related deaths"? Oops, they're all below 50. And half are surrounded by countries with gun violence rates that are 5-10x higher than the US. Significantly higher when you break up US gun violence by race. Extremely significant when you use data from before states started reporting hispanic gun violence as white.

Less gun deaths and homicide in general almost everywhere that is not in the middle of a civil war/armed conflict. Tunisia, Ghana, China, India, etc... All safer than the US and most European countries.

4 more countries with corruption indexes around 40. Chinese bureaucrats definitely reporting statistics accurately. Just like their 0 new cases of Corona. But you're right, India is definitely safer (if you're a rapist).

"Corruption index" is a western scam. The US is one of the most corrupt countries in the world but the billions (maybe trillions now?) of dollars per annum of corrupt activity is considered legal if structured in specific ways. No serious person believes those rankings.

Gun violence statistics are a western scam to push gun confiscation. You think tourism countries like Nicaragua and Costa Rica are incentivized to report every gun crime?

I undertsand that half of the annual US police-on-civilian murders werent categorized as such for over 20 years. The US seems to have some incentives to hide this data as well.

I'm assuming most of the misdisclosed/undisclosed murders were gun deaths.

A recent article stated half the annual police on civilian murders werent categorized as such for over 20 years. The US seems to have some incentive to hide this data as well.

I'm assuming most of the misdisclosed/undisclosed murders were gun deaths.

Sorry, I dont understand. You're saying that because Switzerland is a heavily armed country also that means the US is a third world country?

No, they're saying that the US being heavily armed isn't the only explanation for why someone gets killed by a stray bullet in Atlanta.

Ah, ok - Thank you!

Definitely not a 3rd world country. My US friends do not have guns. Just other countries force more responsibility with them.
