Interesting negative correlation.
It also puts the lie to the claim "If we just got rid of the guns we wouldn't have any murders."
what really concerns me is the last four countries...I have had to "visit" ( work in all four) no wonder my employer tripled our life insurance while in country

honduras especially, they have guards with sub machine guns guarding the john deere tractor places
Honduras would be great except for the government and gangs. I spent 2 weeks there every 6 months for 15 years doing medical missions. Treated several patients with nasty machete wounds. Two innocent people I knew were killed by gangs.

Re: Gun Ownership vs Homicide rate - World

Some thing else to ponder is the fact that young black males who make up less than 6.5% of the population commit more than 50% of our murders. Or murder rate is driven up by social problems not legal gun ownership. Addressing our social conditions will help our murder rate more than restricting firearms.
