How does a country have higher than 100% ownership? No sources sited. I think this is mostly fabricated.

OP fucked that up too, that should be # of guns per 100 residents.

I'm more curious how that country around Kenya has a 90% homicide rate...

I think so too, I'm not sure where the points on the graphs are , it seems that it randomly goes up and down in between the names of countries. For example if you look in between Eritrea and Singapore it is a zig zag between two data points what do all the values in between those two countries mean? For some of these countries I can't even tell if the homicide rate is higher or lower than the country next to it because I have no idea where the data points are.
but assuming the data is actually real , it doesn't look like gun ownership and homicide rate is correlated at all. Just because it is low for the last 5 out of 50 countries on the list even though it was randomly moving up and down for the last 45 countries before that. I would like to see all the countries in the world on one chart as well as a another graph that is ordered by homicide rate.
decent graph overall though

The USA is estimated to have more firearms in private hands than it has citizens. (Mostly because the average firearm owner has at least 4.) That's how.

The omit of the US in this is kinda nuts. I hunt, have a concealed carry permit for my state, and own 15 guns. But then there’s the angry 18 year old that acquires a gun. This chart is as bad as our gun laws. Please regulate and overhaul both.

It’s the big spike at the very end, he didn’t label it for whatever reason
