This further reinforces my point. You claim that the easy availability of Guns in America is responsible for the higher proportion of homicide per capita as compared to other nations.
I on the other hand believe that the higher rate of homicide is caused by numerous social and demographic conditions (urban density being one).
That graph proves that the many factors; including social, political, demographic, etc, lead Americans to commit more crime in general, as well as more murders. I mean, if Americans are committing more crime in comparison to other peoples, is it not to be expected that their homicide rate would be higher too?
