Economic inequality biggest reason for violence. Not gun laws.

If ever, what you could tell looking at the first chart posted in the OT is that economic inequality isn't the main reason for the high homicide rate in US, since if you look at the red line (which stands for the linear regression) you can clearly see how the US point is mostly unrelated to it.
In other words, while the other countries, are placed not far over or under the red line, the US point is placed far over the line, you can even compare it to Portugal, which is not very distant in terms of inequality, still the homicde rate is almost half lower. This doesn't mean that the homicide rate is unrelated to inequlity but it means there are also some others quite effective variables altering the result in the US.

Yes I agree. People are not thinking about other issues that come into play. I never said, oh nothing else will affect it. I said the biggest reason for violence. Gun laws could be second in line.
