Don’t worry, we are still in the lead by a huge margin.

Sad, another nation with a lot of weapons in the hands of civilians, many left over from war, yet shootings are rare.

Yeah, no.

Latest numbers from Wikipedia,:

Estimated number of civilian guns per capita by country - Serbia 39/100 people. Pretty high, but still only 1/3rd ours.

List of countries by firearm-related death rate - Serbia 3.23/100,000. Also pretty high, but still only 1/4th ours.

Although it’s not in this graph (not really a first-world country), it’s barely off the regression line, just to the right of where Austria is.



It’s not rocket science; more guns, more gun deaths. Entirely predictable.

Oh, but it clearly is extremely difficult to comprehend for a certain subsection of the population.

In the last mass shooting, a Balkan war veteran in 2013 killed 13 people in a central Serbian village.

One per decade? Rookies. Call us when you get to one mass shooting per day.

The more guns, the more shooting deaths. Easy to understand. Hard to undo.

When criminals put down their weapons, I won't need to carry mine

How do we get criminals to put down their guns?

Now that's the question we need answers to
