The US is CLEARLY a third world country regarding gun controls.

Short memo to you. The 18th century is over.

Actually third world countries tend to have the most gun control and least gun ownership.  Outside of countries like Somalia anyway.   It's why gun control people are stuck between using local data (which skews against them) and worldwide data (the same) and instead go with a collection of rich countries... but only certain rich countries.

Worldwide data looks something like this...

 

Honestly i'm surprised Serbia's murder rate is so low.

I doubt that third world countries have enough resources and are non-corrupt enough to enforce their gun control laws efficiently.

Does that data include ilegally owned weapons? And what about weapons owned by drug cartels and other organizations? I doubt that you can phone the FARC and they'll tell you how many guns they have.

And I could argue about the population pyramid differencies between third world countries and first world countries does have an effect here.
