Lol… that was the whole point. Hoping you would not notice that the sample was biased.

Doesn't the graph from op show all homicides though, not just fun related?

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.

thats because it looks like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate#/media/File:2019_Gun_ownership_rates_and_gun_homicide_rates_-_developed_world_-_scatter_plot.svg

You wouldn't believe how many facebook meme level arguments I've seen asserting the opposite.

I'm not aware of any common sense arguments to the contrary. Gun ownership rates and murder rates are uncorrelated, as you'd expect.

Why didn’t you just do the math and find out? You’re halfway there already.

So your source is a Wikipedia article that has a warning at the top about itself having no sources?
Seems like useful data.

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

I think the clear conclusion from using all the data is that increased availability of firearms does not increase homicide.
Contrary to all the "common sense" arguments circulating on the subject.
(Provided we accept the source data as true)

What data am I missing here? Where's a country with high gun ownership and high intentional homicide?

It's not exactly pretty, which you freely admit. But you did a very good job laying out the information. You see the most relevant countries data while the lesser known are not labeled. It still gives you the overall data. You did a very good job on it. It clearly shows that countries with more access to guns readily are more likely to have mass violence essentially. Also to what extent compared to gun availability.

So you’re comparing the US to a bunch of African countries

You should use all the data then, rather than cherry picking a subsample.

(1) Many countries have near zero with a sixth or less of the US’s guns.
(2) What about accidental gun deaths?

I'm curious where the "firearm %" data is sourced? Is that officially registered firearm ownership?

No it's for the countries with almost 0% gun availability that it's on the X. Learn to read the legend at the bottom of the graph. Yes, it's cluttered but I had no problem understanding the data.
