... more people have been shot to death in America than the island's entire population! Using per capita on such wildly different population sizes is disingenuous - and This is still clearly due to proximity to America. Where do you think those guns were made? Where do you think the ammo was made?

Using per capita on such wildly different population sizes is disingenuous

Using raw numbers is many times worse than comparing per capita. It's not like we're talking about an n<10,000. They're statistically relevant.

and This is still clearly due to proximity to America.

Ah yes! Must be America's fault. That's why the numbers get worse the further away from America you go. Totally, we project through more than 8 countries to affect Venezuela, Brazil and Colombia. Man... Good thing EU has dozens of countries to go through in order to get to their problem countries like Nigeria, and SA.
