I'm not sure where you're getting your statistics from, but this is what came up when I did a quick search:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ted_death_rate
Firearm-related death rate per 100,000 population per year / Guns per 100 Inhabitants
USA: 11.96 / 101.05
Finland: 3.25 / 27.5
Canada: 2.05 / 25.33
New Zealand: 1.07 / 30
Australia: 1.04 / 13.70
United Kingdom: 0.23 / 2.80
Japan: 0.06 / 0.6
If only we could see some sort of correlation in the statistics between gun ownership and gun-related deaths?
