    Gotta give you credit, it was very clever of you to link to an article without any real stats, but which makes it sound really rife.

    It was a good try, but no.

    United States: 11 gun deaths per 100k.

    South Africa: 6 gun deaths per 100k.

    South Africa is the most violent place in Africa by far, and isn’t representative of Africa at all, and still has a gun homicide rate that’s roughly half of the US.
