Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Violent death is a serious problem in the United States. Previous research
showing US rates of violent death compared with other high-income countries
used data that are more than a decade old.
METHODS:
We examined 2010 mortality data obtained from the World Health Organization
for populous, high-income countries (n = 23). Death rates per 100,000
population were calculated for each country and for the aggregation of all
non-US countries overall and by age and sex. Tests of significance were
performed using Poisson and negative binomial regressions.
RESULTS:
US homicide rates were 7.0 times higher than in other high-income
countries, driven by a gun homicide rate that was 25.2 times higher. For
15- to 24-year-olds, the gun homicide rate in the United States was 49.0
times higher. Firearm-related suicide rates were 8.0 times higher in the
United States, but the overall suicide rates were average. Unintentional
firearm deaths were 6.2 times higher in the United States. The overall
firearm death rate in the United States from all causes was 10.0 times
higher. Ninety percent of women, 91% of children aged 0 to 14 years, 92% of
youth aged 15 to 24 years, and 82% of all people killed by firearms were
from the United States.
CONCLUSIONS:
The United States has an enormous firearm problem compared with other
high-income countries, with higher rates of homicide and firearm-related
suicide. Compared with 2003 estimates, the US firearm death rate remains
unchanged while firearm death rates in other countries decreased. Thus, the
already high relative rates of firearm homicide, firearm suicide, and
unintentional firearm death in the United States compared with other
high-income countries increased between 2003 and 2010.

It's the guns, stupid. The U.S. has a much higher violent death rate than
other developed countries because of the guns.

But then, more people die from medical misadventure. That doesn't mean

Are Liberals telling us that poor people are NATURALLY MORE VIOLENT?
If so then why do they tell us that blacks and Latinos are poor and
whites are wealthy?
Does this mean that LIBERALS are telling us that blacks and LATINOS are
more violent people?
It sure sounds like that's what Liberals are saying.

Once again, picking comparisons that favor the desired conclusion.

Yeah, murder by any other method doesn't count when it comes to
hoplophobes. So if the "gun homicide rate" is much higher, why doesn't
the overall homicide rate track equally?"
Note the author: Hemenway. A person who has been publishing anti-gun
"studies" for many years. The list of refutations to his publishings
is impressive <grin>.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Highest_murder_rates_graph.png
(Rates here range from 30+ to 80+.
U.S. rate 5.3)
Note that every one of the listed countries on this chart has strict
gun control laws (and thus a low "gun homicide rate." Guess they
weren't included in the countries selected for the study, huh.)
Then there is this chart, Note that data is latest available for the
various countries, mostly 2015. This is from the UN.

Where is the U.S.? Eighty-third.

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.
