Take a closer look at the claim "The United States is Number 1 in the world in gun ownership, and yet it is only 28th in the world in gun murders per 100,000 people." Here is the data:
http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2012/jul/22/gun-homicides-ownership-world-listWhat are the 27 countries ahead of the US? Honduras, Al Salvado, Sierra Leone, Jamaica, etc. What a bunch of proud companies. I bet if the survey included other countries such as Yemen, Sudan, Syria, Eritrea, Congo, etc, the US might not even crack the top 50.
The fact is, among developed countries, US is no. 1 by a wide margin!
