These stats are interesting.

Places Not to go if You Want to Stay Alive This is FASCINATING !! WORLD MURDER STATISTICS From the World Health Organization The latest Murder Statistics for the world: Murders per 100,000 citizens per year. Honduras 91.6 (WOW!!) El Salvador 69.2 Cote d'lvoire 56.9 Jamaica 52.2 Venezuela 45.1 Belize 41.4 US Virgin Islands 39.2 Guatemala 38.5 Saint Kitts and Nevis 38.2 Zambia 38.0 Uganda 36.3 Malawi 36.0 Lesotho 35.2 Trinidad and Tobago 35.2 Colombia 33.4 South Africa 31.8 Congo 30.8 Central African Republic 29.3 Bahamas 27.4 Puerto Rico 26.2 Saint Lucia 25.2 Dominican Republic 25.0 Tanzania 24.5 Sudan 24.2 Saint Vincent and the Grenadines 22.9 Ethiopia 22.5 Guinea 22.5 Dominica 22.1 Burundi 21.7 Democratic Republic of the Congo 21.7 Panama 21.6 Brazil 21.0 Equatorial Guinea 20.7 Guinea-Bissau 20.2 Kenya 20.1 Kyrgyzstan 20.1 Cameroon 19.7 Montserrat 19.7 Greenland 19.2 Angola 19.0 Guyana 18.6 Burkina Faso 18.0 Eritrea 17.8 Namibia 17.2 Rwanda 17.1 Mexico 16.9 Chad 15.8 Ghana 15.7 Ecuador 15.2 North Korea 15.2 Benin 15.1 Sierra Leone 14.9 Mauritania 14.7 Botswana 14.5 Zimbabwe 14.3 Gabon 13.8 Nicaragua 13.6 French Guiana 13.3 Papua New Guinea 13.0 Swaziland 12.9 Bermuda 12.3 Comoros 12.2 Nigeria 12.2 Cape Verde 11.6 Grenada 11.5 Paraguay 11.5 Barbados 11.3 Togo 10.9 Gambia 10.8 Peru 10.8 Myanmar 10.2 Russia 10.2 Liberia 10.1 Costa Rica 10.0 Nauru 9.8 Bolivia 8.9 Mozambique 8.8 Kazakhstan 8.8 Senegal 8.7 Turks and Caicos Islands 8.7 Mongolia 8.7 British Virgin Islands 8.6 Cayman Islands 8.4 Seychelles 8.3 Madagascar 8.1 Indonesia 8.1 Mali 8.0 Pakistan 7.8 Moldova 7.5 Kiribati 7.3 Guadeloupe 7.0 Haiti 6.9 Timor-Leste 6.9 Anguilla 6.8 Antigua and Barbuda 6.8 Lithuania 6.6 Uruguay 5.9 Philippines 5.4 Ukraine 5.2 Estonia 5.2 Cuba 5.0 Belarus 4.9 Thailand 4.8 Suriname 4.6 Laos 4.6 Georgia 4.3 Martinique 4.2 And .........The United States 4.2 ​ ALL (109) of the countries above America, HAVE 100% gun bans. It might be of interest to note that SWITZERLAND is not shown on this list, because it has... NO MURDER OCCURRENCE! However, SWITZERLAND 'S lawrequires that EVERYONE: 1. Own a gun. 2. Maintain Marksman qualifications ... regularly . Did you learn anything from this?? I think the message is - loud and clear...

ALL (109) of the countries above America,HAVE 100% gun bans.

Incorrect.

t might be of interest to note that SWITZERLAND is not shown on this list, because it has... NO MURDER OCCURRENCE!

The author is saying that there are no murders in Switzerland? If so that would be incorrect.

Where are these "stats" coming from?

(They frickin' keep stats in Laos, Uganda, CAR, etc.)?

 

[BehindBlueI's]

Interesting, but are they true?

 

[Bennettjh]

Definitely an eye-opener but doesn't fit the left agenda.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Interesting, but are they true?

How could they be?

How does one determine a murder rate for the CAR? Estimated? Number of meters of white cotton or linen cloth sold? In all that chaos I cannot imagine anything being accurate in a number of those nations.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

GREENLAND?

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Interesting, but are they true?

I have my doubts as to the accuracy.

 

[behiggie]

This is gun control we are talking about, don't let facts get in the way.

On the other hand these facts may be open to interpretation but I think it is fairly well established that more guns = less crime

 

[MTN]

I don't if they are true. Had a friend email it to me. I thought it was interesting and, thought I should share.

 

[FireBirdDS]

The assumption here is that the left even cares about statistics or common sense in the FIRST place. If it doesn't fit their agenda or secure their own power, stats or factors don't matter no matter who is touting them or how loud.

#1- need a source for the info.
#2- the picture is very incomplete because there are plenty of countries not listed. Where are Germany, France, China, etc?

I would also want to know when the statistics were supposedly measured. It's great info, if it's true and verifiable. I don't expect that it is either, though the general point is still accurate. More guns in good people's hands equals fewer violent crimes.

 

[NyleRN]

And I wouldn't want EVERYONE in the US to own a firearm. Not everyone is a proper person

 

[VERT]

Those statistics are about as true as the number of school shootings Everytown (or whatever they call themselves) quotes. I say let it float around on the interwebs. If enough people read it then lies become facts.

World murder statistics - snopes.com

 

[Arthur Dent]

You also must realize that with a couple of exceptions all those nations listed are third world countries.

When I went to the Bahamas last year and got to my hotel, I grabbed a paper at the front desk and the headline was something in regards to two police officers who had been murdered there.


In fact, when looking up my source to make sure I wasn't exagerating I found this: thebahamasweekly.com - Suspects arraigned for murder of Nassau police Sgt. Wayne Rolle and Reuben Baker ... That's a different instance of two different police officers being murdered...

I can't find the article online but I was told not to hang around town after dark and to stay on hotel property. Only place I've been where the McDonalds has armed guards, unsure if it had anything to do with it's proximity to the US embassy (100 feet away) or what.

It's bad there.

 

[Dirtebiker]

Also, even IF the "stats" we're true... it says citizens murdered.
if we are interested in places "not to go" shouldn't we be looking at "visitors (or tourists) murdered"?

 

[magus]

Actually if any of that is to be believed, the U.S. Virgin Islands was the shocker for me... well and of course Greenland. (?!)

I doubt the veracity.
