I really shouldn't bother, because anyone posting that image as proof obviously doesn't care about logic or critical thought, but I can't let this one slide.

1. Maybe it's cited somewhere else, but given that you decided to post an imgur link, rather than a link to the source material, all I have to go on is that image. And based on that image, the blue bars are not "GUN homicide rate" but rather "INTENTIONAL homicide rate" which could mean anything, and ultimately means nothing to the context of this conversation.

2. The selection of countries is very off. The United States has the 31st-highest rate of gun-related deaths in the world: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2017/10/06/555861898/gun-violence-how-the-u-s-compares-to-other-countries Recall that the world consists of over 200 countries, and the U.S. is 31st in gun deaths. Meanwhile, how convenient that the image you linked to has 25 names to the right of the U.S., none of which would be considered "developed" countries. Hell, Australia is the country most commonly cited as having actively banned guns, and it's not even listed on that graph. It's extremely misleading in the data it's trying to show.
