I'm afraid.

[Straw Man]

25. Gun violence.

And yet... Almost no gun violence in Europe.

Let's dispense with the "gun violence" red herring, shall we, and look at overall homicide rates instead. After all, I don't particularly prefer being stabbed to death--or strangled, for that matter--to being shot. Maybe that's just me.

Sorting by region, I look at Europe and I see that Albania, Moldava, Russia, Ukraine, Estonia, and Lithuania have higher homicide rates than the United States. Belarus and Latvia have rates that approach that of the United States.

Going over to Asia, your little Hong Kong city-state does have a lower rate, but Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, and Thailand have higher rates, and Myanmar tops the scale with a homicide rate that is four times that of the United States.

But by far the highest rates are in Central and South America. Honduras stands out with 84.3 homicides per 100,000 population, as opposed to 3.8 for the United States.

Tell us again how it's all about the guns.
