A comparison of gun violence statistics between the United States and other countries of the world shows that the United States is a completely exceptional country: the rate of violent shootings in this country is higher than any other country in the world; Although the United States accounts for about 5% of the world’s population, it houses nearly 31% of those who commit mass murders with weapons.
Various analyzes have been presented about the reasons for this issue, but the freedom to carry weapons by citizens is often considered the most important and main cause of this problem. According to the US Congressional Research Center, Americans own about half (48%) of the total 650 million civilian weapons available around the world.
