Yes.
Yes I do.
I was just raising a point that the graph doesn't really paint a true picture. Minte actually posted a more relevant point to the issue:

If the US has a problem,it's how to handle generation after generation of inner city people who know no other way. You'd be surprised Franck at how peaceful most of the cities in the US actually are. Look at the numbers demographically and you will see for yourself. There are pockets of violence here just like there is everywhere.
Solve the gang,drug and poverty issues of the inner cities and the gun related death numbers will look dramatically different.

Points that frank just can't seem to comprehend. Sure, in a magical world without guns, gun-related deaths would disappear. I'd still bet the US would beat the shit out of Holland in some form of murder, though.
