Does it matter? European crime statistics conveniently leave out eastern Europe entirely and everyone except the United States leaves out suicides and accidents when discussing gun violence. When the two compared, it is actually all gun deaths in the US versus only actual gun crimes in countries that are highly ordered in western Europe. This is common knowledge but is constantly overlooked, just like the alcohol issue killing 3-12 times as many people as guns do yet is applauded as a valuable cultural heritage.
