If one looks at countries by per capita homicide rate, out of the 195 countries listed at Wikipedia [1], the U.S. comes in about a third of the way down the list at #59.
This ^^^In the end, gun control is not really about crime, death, "the children," or whatever plausible political reason/cover is bandied about.
It's about control. The rhetoric and selective presentation of "data" are simply a means to that end.

No official, universally accepted definition for a mass shooting exists. Rather, each stat-tracking organization has its own qualifying criteria. For example, the United States Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) defines a mass shooting as a single attack that happens in a public place and in which three or more people are killed with a firearm. However, most other stat trackers require at least four fatalities. As a result of these mismatched definitions, database-to-database differences are both common and confounding.
Similarly, some databases include events in which at least four people were wounded, but not necessarily killed. Others do not. Some databases include occurrences in which the shooter killed only family members (but still in a public place, such as a restaurant). Others do not. Some databases include organized terrorist attacks, armed robberies gone wrong, and gang-related shootings. Other databases discard some or all of these incidents. In fact, in a 2019 study that compared four different databases, the number of mass shooting events recorded in the U.S. for the year 2017 ranged from a low of 11 to a high of 346. Clearly, a significant error margin exists, particularly when creating country-to-country comparisons.
Although events in the U.S. tend to get the lion's share of media exposure, mass shootings are clearly a worldwide issue.
In a widely publicized study originally released in 2015, the pro-gun nonprofit Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) compared the annual number of mass shooting deaths per million people in the U.S. to that of Canada and several European countries from 2009 to 2015. The result? Norway led the world with 1.88 deaths per million, followed by Serbia, France, and Macedonia. Where did the U.S. rank? 11th place.
Biden's last words will be "we have to ban all semi-automatic guns". The man, as are most leftists, are fixated on the tool and not the user. And I believe that is intentional.
Actually though true that he said it recently, I was talking about his last words spoken before his trip to Devil's Hot Paradise.The mother ****** has already said that as recently as last week.
