I don't know what to make of this chart since every graph I've seen has the US places highest among the developed countries in gun related homicides per capita.

It is the highest for gun related homicides per capita. 

This isn't gun related homicides per capita.  It's violent crimes... which is a compliation of Homicides, assaults, rape, battery and other violent crimes.

Those statistics don't seem right at all. Austria, New Zealand and Canada are considered some of the safest countries on the planet.

Don't know what to tell you... outside the fact that they are the only numbers you can find and are widely cited... over a number of years

Assuming you meant Australia instead of Austria.... and Australia is notorious for how easy it is to get into a bar fight.

 

Here's another one... with the UK sadly moving up the list.  Canada moving down.  Australia and New Zealand are off this one.  Though the US isn't on there either.
