To go back to the boring topic of the week:

I did some dividing based on stats on wikipedia…
The US has about 100 times as many murders by gun as the UK
and about 4 times as many murders altogether. Apparently they find other ways to kill each other.

For world homicide rate in a sortable table look here
data.un.org

Our latest stat is 4.2 homicides per 100,000

The safest countries are ones like Japan and Austria with 0.6, 1/7th our homicide rate. There are plenty of countries that report a homicide rate of 0 but I don’t trust that.

Interesting to note that even after all of Orianna Falaci’s complaints about uncivilized Muslim immigrants, their homicide rate is 0.9 or 4.8 times safer than us.

Canada is about 2.5 times safer that us.

We’re almost on par with India, Taiwan and uhm Cambodia

There are plenty of countries with very serious problems though.

Russia, parts of Africa, South America, Mexico have homicide rates sometimes approaching 10 times ours.
