      Great idea. Let’s make the USA a small homogeneous group and see what happens.

        That’s why we use per capita for statistics like this. It doesn’t matter who has more people if you adjust for population. Now, you could argue density is the problem, but in less dense places in the US the rate is even higher, so…

            Excellent nothing argument. Would you care to explain why the US couldn’t have a gun culture like Switzerland if it’s not due to population density or population size?
