CDRockies, Looking at your stats, its pretty easy to ignore some of the glaring issues with that chart. First, you have to consider overall population. That is not a percentage so the numbers are going to be larger generally per population. Excepting Germany, where their culture is so vastly different than ours.

Next, you have to consider the source of those stats. If you look at major sources of homicides, cities like Chicago, Detroit etc, you will see that the vast majority of the homicides are committed by undereducated inner city dwellers that completely skew the curve.

Combine those mass population centers with the types of people committing the crimes and you get your stats.

Lastly, you might think in my line of work I'd be all for less guns, but as I said, its not gun that are killing people.
