America's insane rate of gun homicide in perspective
US President Barack Obama spoke out about the country's gun laws once again last week, mere hours before a gunman killed two people at a Louisiana cinema. When it comes to homicides by firearm per 1 million in developed countries, nowhere comes close to matching the US. Statista's latest infographic feature in the Independent was inspired by this interesting data compiled by Vox.
