My guess is that you have to factor the number of people we have in the U.S and the amount of guns held by them in the U.S. I do remember a post showing the world and where we stand on % of violence per capita. I will try and look for it for you.

Now let us think about what we hear about daily on the news, do you follow these other countries knowing what happens there daily, but boy, if some movie star farts crooked on a slow newsday ever news agency talks about it.
Please reread the top five posted before....It happens all over the world- Evil people do evil all over and that is a fact we must understand even if we don't see it first hand.
