How come gun deaths per capita are so high in the USA compared to the other countries high on the human development index, while crimes like assault, burglary, etc are not?

because niggers

>>65730931
Do they just go to the street and shoot each other for no purpose?
>>
>>65730931
But then wouldn't crime in general be higher?
>>
>>65731025
Yes.
>>
Let's take a concrete case study.

Chicago makes it every hard to even report crimes.

Most people want a police officer to come to your house and deal with the matter at hand. That's how it happens in decent areas.

Chicago makes you report certain things online. That is very alienating and doesn't inspire confidence in the police at all. Many people simply don't fucking bother.

However, there is no hiding a corpse. Those will be dealt with every single time.

But the guy who got his car broken into? That's a burglary which he probably don't even report.

every = very

Because "gun deaths" is a loaded term.

That statistic includes suicides, justified shootings (in self-defense and such), and accidental discharges. Yet, it's thrown around as if it implies homicides.

The truth is that the statistic is massively inflated because of this, 2/3 of all "gun deaths" are suicides. With firearms being the most "successful" form of taking one's own life.
>>
>>65731025

Pretty much. Sometimes it will be because one of them is standing on a street corner that another had "claimed". Sometimes it will be because one of them has nicer shoes. Sometimes it will be because someone tried to stop them from raping someone else like here

Suicides "only" make up a bit less than half of gun deaths. And even then, homicide alone is still much higher than gun death in all other western countries.

>How come gun deaths per capita are so high in the USA compared to the other countries high on the human development index, while crimes like assault, burglary, etc are not?

Because we have the highest gun ownership on the face of the earth. This will obviously lead to a higher number of gun-related deaths. Much like owning a car increases your chance of being in a car accident. It's just numbers.

The majority of gun-related deaths are suicide. However, we do not have nearly the highest number of suicides.

Crimes like assault and burglary are lower because criminals, like humans, have an extreme aversion to getting shot and killed. We are allowed to defend ourselves as we see fit in this country, should we feel that our lives are in danger.

Does this lead to unfortunate incidents/accidents? Yes. It's tragic, but it's the price we pay for freedom.
>>
>>65731025
Yes. Not even a meme. There are several shootings in Chicago, Detroit and other nigger cities every day.
>>
>>65731025

As ridiculous as it sounds, yes. Youtube Hood Life 3 to see the real face of gun violence in America.
>>
>>65732160
>Crimes like assault and burglary are lower
But they are not. They just aren't drastically higher than in other countries like gun related homicide is.
>>
>>65732079
>Suicides "only" make up a bit less than half of gun deaths

lol no. They make up more than 60% of gun deaths.
>>
>>65730604
gun deaths are good.

http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/05/24/suicides-account-for-most-gun-deaths/

forgot to include this
>>
half are suicides

3/4 of the remainder are gang members shooting gang members

1/2 of the rest are accidents/justified

The remainder is extremely low. EXTREMELY LOW.

Alternatively, if you remove Chicago, Detroit, St Louis, and one or two other big cities, the number cuts by about 3/4
>>
>>65731123
First off, gun deaths include suicides which over-inflates the statistics by a huge margin since they are the majority of all gun deaths
Secondly, all the other crimes are higher....in areas with niggers
>>
>>65730604
Because people who commit assault, burglary, etc. become shooting statistics.
>>

What's funny is that the UK's murder per 100K is similar to the US.
>>
>>65730604
Niggers

Ask the same question and you will get the same answer every time. It is always niggers.
>>
>>65730604
>How come gun deaths per capita are so high in the USA
It's not. We're #1 in gun ownership per capita, #111 in gun deaths per capita.
>>
>>65731025
Yes, pretty much all they do.

For anyone curious.

>>65730604

Bear in mind that the US is a continent-sized country. Gun deaths are a problem solely in areas with lots of dindus and immigrants, and not a problem at all in rural white areas.

But to answer your question, people here are motivated by the same things that motivate people throughout the world. Nobody decides to assault, burglarize, etc someone as a result of getting a gun. People who do that kind of thing might use a gun, but the absence or presence of a gun is not going to automatically make more people want to do that kind of thing.
>>
>>65730604
"Gun death" and "gun crime" are not the same things.
>>
>>65730604
Niggers don't have a choice in reporting murder if they get killed

>>65731025
I know an entire family that was killed because a gang member's relative didn't like the son
>>
>>65732079
The Centers for Disease Control in the U.S. tracks all reported deaths and thier causes. On average there are 33,000 firearms related deaths in the US which account for 1.2% of the 2.5 million annual deaths.this is in a nation of 320 million people.

Of those 33,000, 12,000 are "self inflicted" suicides. This accounts for .8% of deaths. Of the remaining 11,000 , (.4%) roughly 8000 (.25%) are ruled "homicide" or unlawful murder. 500 are accidental deaths (.05%) and 2500 are justified self defense by either citizens or law enforcement (.2%).

But it's a real epidemic we've got going on over here.

Here's also a good link by the UK's own parliament.

http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm199900/cmselect/cmhaff/95/95ap25.htm

>Since 1967, homicide figures for England and Wales have been adjusted to exclude any cases which do not result in conviction

>Many countries, including the United States, do not adjust their statistics down in that way and their figures include cases of self defence, killings by police and justifiable homicides.
>>
>>65732160
Case in point. The U.S. has the looses overall gun control laws in the world. Our suicide rate is about 12.5 Peruvian 100,000

South Korea has possibly the most restrictive gun control laws in a democracy. Their suicide rate is about 29 per 100,000.
>>
>>65730604
2/3 of it is suicide
>>
>>65730604

blacks don't report many assaults, burglaries, etc.

murder they usually have no choice
>>
>>65731025
Yes. Some will kill you for living a few blocks away. Gangs often form around the streets, areas of town they live in.
