I'm so glad I don't live in the US.
The level of violence over there is truly frightening.

Yeah but you could live in midwestern US, which has a lower murder rate then Euro countries/ Australia despite the high gun ownership.

 

OT: Sad days lately, it always seems to happen when Summer gets rolling.

where is this magical midwestern US?

in the 2014 data I only see New Hampshire at 0.9 (per 100k people), which is on par with Germany's 0.9 and slightly better than UK's/Australia's 1.0 and France's 1.2 and pretty much all other states are waaaay higher
