In Brazil, all firearms are required to be registered with the minimum age for gun ownership being 25. It is generally illegal to carry a gun outside a residence, and a special permit granting the right to do so is granted to certain groups, such as law enforcement officers.
Gun deaths by country
Brazil — 49,436
United States — 37,038 -
Maybe if you stopped allowing Brazilians into the US, you'd have less gun deaths.

I'm guessing the rest of the world must have a lot less criminals, based on shooting deaths elsewhere.

Yes, and most if not all of the countries at the top of that list would almost certainly have been referred to by an erudite and sophisticated former POTUS in scatological terms.
Whether you view this as a success or not is of course up to you.

Freedom has a price.
Seriously, take certain neighborhoods out of the stats and things would look much, much different.

Well, yeah, if you only count the areas without gun violence, then there isn't going to be a lot of recorded gun violence.
Based on that logic, we could remove the top 15 nations from the list, and put the US as number 1!

BTW I am not ashamed to admit I googled "where is Eswatini". Figured it sounded like a Star Wars planet.

Yes, but then the violence is not a societal problem, but a very bad problem for slim sections of society.

Did you know that if you take out African American vs African American gang violence, that the UK has a higher murder rate than the US? So what do you the problem is?

I don't doubt that for a second.
Gotta source for that?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Did you know that if you pick all the cherries off a tree that you still have a cherry tree?
If you're going to compare the two countries, you probably need to remove UK gang violence from the equation, too. Amazingly enough, Britain isn't one large homogenous mix either.
Did you know that the US suicide rate is roughly double that of the UK? Which is going some if you consider the food and the weather.

Yes. Myself. I ran the numbers once. Good luck finding an actual study.
I should make one correction, I didn’t remove black on black gang violence, I normalized it against the average.

Definitely a cultural thing. I agree with @Doctor-Phibes The countries listed above the US in the death rate by guns are not by anyones idea a well adjusted first world country. Not sure that is the countries I would want to be associated in that regard.
Take a look at the countries which are at the bottom of the list
Spain
Austria
Switzerland
Germany
Norway
Singapore
(through to)
JapanWHich is the better list to be associated with?
Side note: On average, about 40+ people in the US are died EVERY DAY because of gun violence. In Japan, there were 40 deaths due to gun violence over 8 YEARS!!
I can say with confidence that the people of Japan do not feel less safe because they cannot walk around with a gun.
