Nope. I won't say America has the worst gun violence in the world, but it is certainly the worst problem in America and the worst of other developed nations currently not-existing in a war zone.
You're changing the subject again.
Statistics also show that countries with tougher gun laws have less gun violence.
Wager on that?
Developed nations have less mass shooting deaths per capita than the US
I feel bad for you talking about subjects you dont know, and I dont want to take advantage. But here are the statistics, so you can be up to date, and not just take what the media feeds you.
Mass shootings are incidents where there are at least four people, or more, are shot and killed by an attacker. Mass shootings do not always happen at random, for sometimes, the perpetrators of the mass shooting is a family member, a friend, or a peer of those who are murdered as a result of the act.
School shootings are a common type of mass shootings, as saddening as it is, especially in the United States. Though there is not actual global definition of a mass shooting, the general consensus is that a mass shooting results from armed weapons taking the lives of many people at one time.
Some of the countries that have notably high or significant numbers of mass shootings on an annual basis include the following, in no particular order.

There is a common misconception that the United States is one of the top few countries, if not the top country, that have the highest mass shooting rates. But the truth of the matter is that the United States is actually number sixty-six on the list of countries in terms of mass shooting rates.
That finding rings true when all countries around the world are taken into consideration. Looking at the United States alongside all the countries in Europe alone, the United States has the twelfth highest mass shooting rate. A few of the European countries with a higher mass shooting rate than the United States include Russia, Norway, France, Switzerland and Finland.
It certainly seems that the United States has the highest mass shootings rate of all the land, but this has been proven untrue.
