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

I would even say it's flat out ugly.

Dozens of countries that also include countries accounting for millions of civilian deaths post-gun control.

Nothing says "lack of massive complications" like mass graves and bulldozed bodies.

17 datapoints are below 1. With high numbers around 100 showing those small points get real close to 0.

Looks like arming at least 20% of your population is enough to end a lot of senseless death, but I'm just looking at the data here.

I get it cuz it would be really crowded but it seems really unhelpful not it label every point on a non continuous scale. Also, some point of time reference would be really helpful

Can you cite your data source(s)?

Nope, it's actually the data that when people have guns, the overall murder rate doesn't really change.

>is this per 100k residents

Yes, it's a source link from the data table referenced.

A clear read I took was a drop in homicide rate once the availability of firearms gets near 20%. It bounces up and down to greater extremes until then.

It's almost as if when people are armed, they're less likely to be murdered.

I'm not sure cheap is a term I would use with banning guns in the US.

First problem is that about 1/3 or more of the population disagrees and has the means--economic, hopefully--to make it very awkward to ban them and keep a government in power.

Additionally, the whole rest of the Bill of Rights would need to be tossed in order to succeed with banning guns in the US. No right to privacy (lest people get together to form resistance to the policy or make guns on their own), no right to assemble, no right to a jury trial (how do you convict people when a third or more of the jury agrees with the accused on these policies?), no right to a whole lot of other things.

And the black markets that will come up quick.

I mean, they banned alcohol for a decade or so and created organized crime families that lasted for decades beyond...

Ignoring, of course, the fact you'll likely have half the states in the country trying to start a Constitutional convention or secede or just stop listening to the Federal government.

Not sure cheap is the word I would use.

This data representation is not beautiful. It’s the complete wrong kind of graph for representing information like this.

I think it's actually every 3rd.

I honestly prefer the raw data tables, much easier to sort. But this format does show the gap at the end well.

OP posted the source — the US is that final data point. Not every country is labeled. If you look at the very right, you see Yemen labeled. Yemen is third highest gun ownership. Serbia and then the US are the next two (unlabeled) data points.

Also is this per 100k residents? There’s not enough information here to come to any kind of conclusion.

Something is not right—your red line keeps hitting the x-axis, producing a lot of zeros.

I think the interesting thing is that it rose from 12 to 19.

Should be any reported homicide.

They should have been a scatter plot with two axes

So only every other country in the graph is labeled?

A line graph is not appropriate for this at all. There's nothing to interpolate "between" countries.
