Nasty violent place the USA.
Not as nasty, or as violent, as the UK:

UK is violent crime capital of Europe
The United Kingdom is the violent crime capital of Europe and has one of the
highest rates of violence in the world, worse even than America, according to
new research.

Analysis of figures from the European Commission showed a 77 per cent increase
in murders, robberies, assaults and sexual offences in the UK since Labour
came to power.

The total number of violent offences recorded compared to population is higher
than any other country in Europe, as well as America, Canada, Australia and
South Africa.

As I say nasty violent place. Also world leader in exporting
terrorism.

A side by side comparison with automobile related deaths would be
interesting. I think there are fewer vehicles than firearms but
more deaths and injuries due to vehicles. Automobiles should be
banned because, like guns, vehicles will jump up and hurt you by
themselves. I should know, I saw the movie Christine.
