In fact... I'll take that stuff about firearms deaths back - it's not that good. The number of intentional gun deaths is 6.2 per 100,000 - and definately the worst in the main Euro countries - followed by France at 5.4, Austria 4.4, Norway 4.2, Belgium 3.3, Denmark 2.4, Sweden 2.2, Germany 1.4, Spain 0.7, England/Wales 0.4 blah. The comparative for the US is 13.4.

Freaky stat on family killings, but not unusual for suicides by shooting - it's a major element in the US stats.
