You're kidding right? It's misleading. It's intended to make it seem like our gun problem is 558x worse than Finland when in reality it's about 10x worse. Big difference. If I was discussing infant mortality in different countries I would compare them in terms of infant mortality rate, deaths of infants under one year old per 1,000 live births. I wouldn't compare the total number of infant deaths under one in each country. Those results would be misleading.
Here come the fucking idiots, out in full force.
Because someone committed homicide with a gun, that means nobody should own guns. Excellent t logic!
Incredibly ironically...about 20 mins ago, I got off the phone with a friend of mine. Have known her for probably 25+ years now...since childhood. She lives alone and started going out with a guy about a month ago. This guy had a GF she didn't know about until a few days ago. Just today at 6am, she woke up after hearing someone break into her place. Turns out it was this guy's psycho bitch GF who was coming to confront her, and she had a knife on her. The only thing that may have prevented something extremely ugly from happening is the fact that my friend owns a gun..and carried it with her after she called 911. The cops are still sorting everything out. And I'm pretty sure she isn't going to take the gun to the nearest church and open fire since the left likes to pretend that's what everyone who owns a gun does.
As as far as this murder...the victims were all black? What the hell difference does that make? I think anyone who murders anyone else, regardless of color, is a POS coward. He deserves to be skinned alive, and the race of his victims are completely irrelevant to anything.

Many gun control advocates prefer to look at only firearm homicides, not total murders. The United States has neither the highest firearm homicide rates for all countries or for developed countries. Among OECD countries, Mexico has the highest firearms homicide rate, with a rate about 3 times higher than the US rate. Brazil’s and Russia’s are much higher, though Russia does not report firearm homicides so it is only a guess for that country.
By the way, despite Israel and Switzerland having very high gun possession rates, their firearm homicide rates are extremely low. In the data shown below, Switzerland had a firearms homicide rate of 0.77 per 100,000 people and Israel has a rate of just 0.09 per 100,000.
Note that there are many countries that clearly have higher gun homicide rates than the United States that don’t have data available. Indeed, while 192 countries report total homicides, only 116 countries report firearm homicides. The average homicide rate for the countries that don’t have firearm homicides is 11.1 per 100,000. The median homicide rate for those that are missing is 8.7 per 100,000. Among the countries with higher homicide rates is Russia with a homicide rate of 11.6. The bottom line is that the countries that are missing the data are among the worst homicide countries.
Again, all the concerns provided over relying on cross-sectional data still apply here. In addition, the firearm homicide data is not available for many of the countries with the highest homicide rates, suggesting that this cross-sectional comparison is even more misleading than the discussion on homicides
