And about those graphs showing numbers of non-natural deaths in various countries:

Yeah, the U.S. looks like it has a lot of homicides. It does.

Know why?

I bet you can guess.

No?

We've got a shitload of people living here. DING DING! Who would have thought of such a thing! More people equals a greater chance of things happening?! NO WAY!

Seriously. Look at the fucking graph SEAL posted. It shows the United States, then right under it is... Finland? What the fuck is that? Finland has a population of FIVE MILLION. (source: http://virtual.finland.fi/finfo/english/populat.html ) The United States has a population of 294,341,179. (source: http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/popclock ) Round it up, that's 300 million.

According to SEAL's handy graph from the most enigmatic source of "google", We see that Finland has about, say, 4,500 homicides a year. Also according to this obviously correct random Internet page, the United States has about 95,000 homicides a year. (I believe the actual number is closer to 20,000.) Here comes the fun part.

Finland: 5,000,000 people
United States: 300,000,000 people

The United States has 60 times more people than Finland.

Do the math, people.

Proportionally, if Finland had as many people as the United States, it would have 270,000 deaths by firearm. each year.

Curse you, America, and your second amendment!

The graph posted in this thread is per 100.000 children aged <15, so population is irrelevant.
