How are they functionally false? It lists top countries in the world similar to USA and shows that use has more firearm deaths. How is that functionally wrong?

    If you need statistics for world comparison simple google it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate here is firearm related death per 100k population - US comes in 10th. But don't compare us to third world countries. Compare instead to Wealthy countries becauses thats a better comparison. Among wealthy countries we are #1.Don't compared us to for example Honduras - the country that is plagued by gang wars. That would not be a good comparison. The best comparison would be to countries of similar income and life expectancy. Any other comparison would be flawed. And the fact that Switzerland has the lowest mortality rate by guns. Is just skews the whole statistic, because their entire economy is based on Banking. If they had mass murder their banks wouldn't be profitable. There is a reason why people hold their money in Switzerland. Its because it is an easy way to hide money. But I am going off topic now.
