Check out both tables and you will see that the facts do not say what you think they say, at all.
Homicide rates by firearm per 100,000 inhabitants (2017):
Jamaica - 47.857
United States - 3.342
Serbia - 0.415
Ranking by country for civilian-held firearms per 100 population (2017): Jamaica - 8.8
United States - 120.5
Serbia - 39.1
Those are just to compare three countries, but you will see a similar trend for all other countries.It shows that Serbia has loads of guns, yet barely any firearm-related homicides, whereas Jamaica has much less guns, yet homicide rates by firearm are way higher than the US.
Thus, the statement that "More guns -> More gun-related violence" is evidently false.
Merely that street crime is less in areas with guns.
You’re quoting national statistics, which include places with no guns and a lot of street violence - I’ve already mentioned that, if you’re not going to read when I respond to you there’s no point having this conversation.
That the US is safer than other places because it has guns? I guess you can sincerely believe that, but the facts say something else.
