And if those guns didn't have guns of their own.
The only thing that can stop a bad gun with a gun is a good gun with a gun.
Gun guns. A gun that shoots out guns. Sounds like something from a Borderlands game.
Why do these European charts omit the UK?
We left the EU, not the bloody continent.
We are on there but we had no killings. Just tragic accidents for the greater good.
The data is provided by Eurostat. An EU organisation, they are not going to fund numbers for a country not in the EU anymore (some other countries might still join for various reasons.)

"We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!"
Missouri is actually #1 if you count all the copicides.
Ah yes, the mostly aptly named state, misery.
What’s up with New Hampshire that it’s on par with the EU countries?
NH has the lowest poverty rate of all the states. Plus it's generally cold and rural so people are more isolated and chill.

UK isn't included for some reason, but in 2020 it was 1.00.
I wanted to say "Duh brexit" but as switzerland is also included and some other non-eu states...
Latvia is the Louisiana of Europe
A bit surprising seeing us at the top since I rarely feel uncomfortable walking alone during night even through questionable areas. I usually do not even see anyone else so that might be the reason why nothing significant has happened.
Most of those murders probably are from people you know because usually headlines mention something like ″Some guy kills another guy over a bottle of vodka and argument″. Rarely you see in news incidents where murder seems to have happened to random person.
The only recent thing that shook me quite a bit was meeting a guy with large knife. I still do not know if it was just for his own protection and he was some local guard since I was in an industrial area where you would not expect anyone. He was visibly drunk and spoke Russian which I barely know so I did not spend too much time thinking about it and just run the hell away.
It's also better than it was before. In 90s we had a bit of a gangster period. Source.

Look at "them there" red states. Life is cheap south of the Mason Dixon Line.
It's just another part of the wide range of fantastic options for post-natal abortions, from the fourth trimester onward!
No lives matter (except the rich)
What's the deal with Louisiana?
outside of NO, the region is reletively low on education, poverty ridden and low opportunity. its the trio that makes high homicide rate.

Corruption, poor education, overpowered oil/gas lobby, for-profit prison system that encourages recidivism
And that's just scratching the surface
Must be the Mississipi River. It just gets redder as you go down from Minnesota to Louisiana.

Not to brag but at least Illinois isn't the worst. That, as usual, goes to the Worst State in the Union in over 90% of all categories, Louisiana.

What's up with Liechtenstein? That's five people and a fortune, how are they competing with the US?
Pretty sure the amount they're listed as having on the graph is equivalent to one single homicide, due to their low population.
