Take all the time you need. I went through it already. I know the result.

Okay first caveat when reviewing these stats: “With less than 5% of the world’s population, the United States is home to roughly 35–50 per cent of the world’s civilian-owned guns, heavily skewing the global geography of firearms and any relative comparison”

Yep. And if gun ownership was the *cause* of gun homicides, we'd have an equivalent number of gun homicides as compared to the rest of the world. But again, I'm looking for any country with worse socioeconomics and a lower gun-homicide rate. Those are the two stats.

That is the argument you are trying to counter? That I believe sheer number of guns is the *cause* of gun homicide? Nope. Then you are wasting your time. This is uniquely a cultural issue in the US & a country whose entire identity is wrapped up in their gun rights at all costs

If that were the case, you'd be able to find ONE COUNTRY with worse sicioeconomics and a better gun-homicide rate.

Let me ask you a question (as I continue to blow a rare sunny day in Seattle) are you OK with the current status quo? You are running for office & you will have to reconcile the clearly disturbing trend in mass shootings with needing to defend the rights of your constituents

I've answered every direct question with a direct answer. Did you fail to find a single country in the entire world with a lower gun-homicide rate and worse socioeconomics than the US? Yes or no? I'll answer you after you answer me. I've asked 4 times.

No, at least not from *that* small list. As an eloquent speaker you understand logical fallacies don’t you? And that even if such a country existed that had worse socio-economic status but a better gun homicide rate than the US, America is still an outlier here. No contest
