    What’s the reason for excluding so many european countries in this graphic?

      The UK not being included makes me think that these are only EU member countries? I don’t know for sure though.

      Whenever you see a map with data about most European countries but not the UK, it’s probably Eurostat. After Brexit they stopped sharing their data.

        UK, Switserland, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldavia.

        Cyprus is included for some reason.

        Which two of the above were you referring to?

              The US does look bad. There is no make involved. The US homocide / gun deaths numbers are en par to some failed states or those with civil or actual war.

                Your argument would be illustrated if this post included europe, as the title claimed it would.

                  Ok, so the US is only much worse than the majority of EU countries.

                  That better?

                  Amazing, huh, how comparing the US to other modern civilised countries makes the US look bad?

                  I wonder what that means…

                    Maybe Europe is just too good. It’s suspicious. What are they hiding under all that not being murdered.

              The reason the US looks bad is because the US is bad. You don’t need to aim very high… I mean, you don’t need to aim at all, or put any effort into it. Just let the US be the US and it already does all the looking bad for you.

      Pretty sure the UK is no longer part of Europe. The greyed out countries aren’t part of Europe, so why would they be included?
