This may be referencing a chart from CNN's report on Small Arms Survey data, which includes many other statistics making the same point. Here's another:

US has 44% of global gun suicides but only 4% of population

This would be much more impactful if it actually balanced it compared to total suicide rates to demonstrate guns create a meaningful increase in suicide. Otherwise viewers will simply thing people are doing the same amount by other methods in other countries

I'll support gun control when the laws are not written by complete idiots whose only idea of doing anything to stop gun violence is giving a bajilion dollars to the pigs (who kill at a 33x ratio over mass shootings, btw) and banning guns over random ass ergonomic features or because they "look scary" so some random ass suburban white woman can feel safe while the government refuses to address poverty and crime in a meaningful way.

Anyway, remember what the bearded commie man said.

Simply pathetic. I'm gun owner and I fully support firearms registration, proper licensing which includes a thorough background check, school, psychological check and an annual visit from law enforcement to make fucking sure everything is OK.

The US gun laws are sick.
