> The murder rate varies widely by state/area

Everytime I see this line of reasoning I'm utterly shocked at the lack of understanding.

What you said applies equally across any other country too. So France's 1.2 is an average of the entire country.

Yes, half of any country is below the average!

States have different laws. Some states are more strict about guns while others are more lax.

States in the US have significantly more difference than the regions in France (or whatever they are called). It is probably more accurate to compare the US to the EU and France to an individual state.
