I take your point. But its also true that if you measure violent death over the last 100 years Europe is way, way, way ahead. Around 90 million Europeans have died violently over the last century -- guns, bombs, gas, starvation -- at the hands of its governments and people.

The US would have to have a Parkland style school shooting every hours on the hours for the next 600 years to catch up.

I'm don't think that including a world war is a reasonable comparison.

Today, or even in the last decade, the risk of gun violence is far, far greater in the US is far greater than Europe.

We could discuss violent deaths over the last 100 years... But that would be incredibly off topic given that we're discussing how surgeons in different countries have different exposure to gun trauma today...
