That the US is safer than other places because it has guns? I guess you can sincerely believe that, but the facts say something else.

Check out both tables and you will see that the facts do not say what you think they say, at all.

Homicide rates by firearm per 100,000 inhabitants (2017):

  Jamaica - 47.857
  United States - 3.342
  Serbia - 0.415

Ranking by country for civilian-held firearms per 100 population (2017):

  Jamaica - 8.8
  United States - 120.5
  Serbia - 39.1

Those are just to compare three countries, but you will see a similar trend for all other countries.

It shows that Serbia has loads of guns, yet barely any firearm-related homicides, whereas Jamaica has much less guns, yet homicide rates by firearm are way higher than the US.

Thus, the statement that "More guns -> More gun-related violence" is evidently false.
