@jb681131: That isn't even remotely true. The U.S. consistently ranks in the somewhere between 30 and 40 for gun violence...and if you eliminate hard ban democrat cities such as baltimore, LA, and chicago-then not only the rate of gun homicide but also the rate of homicide in general, goes down to almost zero...5 percent of the counties in the U.S. make up around 80 percent of all homicides and 70 percent of counties have 1 murder or less...and the rest have a murder rate of zero. Literally, outside of like 8 cities, the U.S. is the safest place in the world.
tldr-the countries with the highest rates of gun violence are El Salvadore, Venezuela and Guatemala.

@jb681131: Data you used actually shows El Salvadore, Venezuela and Guatemala are countries with more Gun Violence and US doesn't seems even close to that Rate.

You mean data that Americans use to prouve that the USA is not the worse country.
There might be more gun shootings and death in those south american countries. But in those countries, it's not like in the US where guns are easy to buy/find, and in many states it's even leagal to own one and to roam around with one.
What you have ignored is the fact that a crime is not necessarely a killing. "a crime is an unlawful act punishable by a state or other authority".
I am not expert but I have yet to find datas prooving that the USA is not the number 1 country with the most gun crimes. And I mean gun crimes, not gun death !
People need to take into account the ratios along with several other factors when talking about these things. I.E. the number of gun related crimes in relation to a country's overall population.
