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

Small list? The link I gave you was to every single country on earth that gathers gun and homicide data. Did you not look at that link? You're acting like Sherman now in regard to healthcare.
