I hope all image links work.
But yeah, I've looked into this many times in the past, and while some data can be skewed to suit a narrative in either direction, there are far too many studies indicating a big gun problem in the US compared to brush it off as a coincidence.

USA is different than Australia, Sweden and Japan, yes, But it's gun violence rates should be closer to those countries than the undeveloped countries.
USA is not Australia, but why not try to impose more strict gun laws? Instead they say we should pray. Well prayer didn't work last time, or the time before that. Why not try before dismissing it because "we're not Australia"? How can people proiritize their right to shoot their assault rifles over increased human safety? It's something I will never understand.

Damn, those charts you posted are one Hell of a smackdown against the absurdity of NRA "logic".  The Second Amendment was an interesting hypothesis, but it turned out to be wrong.  The reality is that the US would be better and safer without it.
