How many people die in other developed nations because they can't protect themselves from the criminals or crazies with weapons?

Does this relate to the video? They referenced healthcare, but if they talked about gun violence, or homicide rates, I must have missed it.
But to answer your question, assuming there is a reference in the video (please make sure to point out where, in your next reply) and you're not just throwing in a random subject, considering all these countries have significantly lower homicide rates than USA, the answer is; probably substantially fewer cases than occur in USA.

Japan 0.28
Iceland 0.30
Norway 0.51
Spain 0.63
Portugal 0.64
South Korea 0.70
Australia 0.94
Sweden 1.08
United Kingdom 1.20
France 1.35
Etc.

United States 5.35

Burglars will rarely bring guns with them in countries that don't allow guns, because they know there will be no gun in the house. If things go south, they can run away without losing their lives.
In USA however, there's the risk that any house they break into has guns inside. So they consider bringing their own guns. For... protection. 

On a semi-serious note, you're probably more likely to get caught up in one of USA's school shootings.



Unlike the homicide ratios, these figures are not adjusted for population size. But needless to say, USA is not 288 times the size of Japan. It's barely 3 times as large.
And no, they didn't have 96 samurai sword school attacks.
USA doesn't have a monopoly on mentally unstable people. But what they do have is 5% of the world's population, and 42% of the world's guns.
So the answer to the problem is obviously... more guns. Arm the teachers, the doctors, the pastors, the nuns, the rabis. Nothing could go wrong.

There are countries with worse gun violence statistics than USA. But they're so called undeveloped nations.

"If a man strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him and shoot him. That is the law". Sounded like gun violence to me.

Are the standards for murder and school shootings the exact same across all Countries? So stop the innocent, peaceful, civil people from doing what they want to do, so the guilty, disruptive, uncivil criminals can do what they want to? If the US has 288X the amount of guns, or close to that, than Japan does, then you may have a point. Otherwise not, which is my assumption. I'd guess you'd be a lot closer if you said America has 288X the amount of BS coming out of their media.

No reply to racist GOP Jesus? Where did GOP Jesus talk about comics and super hero's?
