The US is 24th on that list of murder per capita. Why aren't you calling out the other 23 countries ahead of them?
You also have to take into account that a very small part of our population does the murdering. 1% of our population is responsible for half the murders in the US. 99% of the places in our country are very safe to live and have no problems with murder. We just have very small areas that are bad. Stay out of there and away from those people, and who cares?
Having freedoms have consequences. Our country lets us defend ourselves against our government. Most other countries don't.
