Imagine how bad it would be if Americans didn't have guns to defend themselves.

And if those guns didn't have guns of their own.

The only thing that can stop a bad gun with a gun is a good gun with a gun.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Gun guns. A gun that shoots out guns. Sounds like something from a Borderlands game.

Why do these European charts omit the UK?

We left the EU, not the bloody continent.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 days ago (4 children)

The data is provided by Eurostat. An EU organisation, they are not going to fund numbers for a country not in the EU anymore (some other countries might still join for various reasons.)

We are on there but we had no killings. Just tragic accidents for the greater good.

Missouri is actually #1 if you count all the copicides.

Ah yes, the mostly aptly named state, misery.

What’s up with New Hampshire that it’s on par with the EU countries?

NH has the lowest poverty rate of all the states. Plus it's generally cold and rural so people are more isolated and chill.

UK isn't included for some reason, but in 2020 it was 1.00.

I wanted to say "Duh brexit" but as switzerland is also included and some other non-eu states...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Also the title doesn't say EU, it says Europe.

What's the deal with Louisiana?

[–] [email protected] 53 points 5 days ago (2 children)

outside of NO, the region is reletively low on education, poverty ridden and low opportunity. its the trio that makes high homicide rate.

Corruption, poor education, overpowered oil/gas lobby, for-profit prison system that encourages recidivism

And that's just scratching the surface

Look at "them there" red states. Life is cheap south of the Mason Dixon Line.

It's just another part of the wide range of fantastic options for post-natal abortions, from the fourth trimester onward!

What's up with Liechtenstein? That's five people and a fortune, how are they competing with the US?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Pretty sure the amount they're listed as having on the graph is equivalent to one single homicide, due to their low population.

Not to brag but at least Illinois isn't the worst. That, as usual, goes to the Worst State in the Union in over 90% of all categories, Louisiana.

“Surely not!” And then with a heavy sigh, I remembered Baltimore.
