I think we need to be really fair about what this chart shows. Yes, among those countries, the United States has a higher gun violence than others. But if we're going to really take this seriously, here are some things we need to consider:
1 - The United States is the only one of those countries that CONTINUOUSLY imports over 1 million + people from totally impoverished, uneducated, and crime-ridden countries. None of those other countries have to deal with a consistent and continual stream of illegals coming into their country. These people DO in fact commit crime, sometimes by necessity if you will, but other times because we do not discriminate between actual criminals and non criminals. We basically let everyone in through our porous border.
2 - What's counted in "gun crime?" Let's look at that one for a minute. In your chart, you have Belgium listed there. Were you aware that Belgium has the highest rate of suicides of any country in Europe? They have more than 18 suicides per 100k. Then lets look at Sweden... which has almost 15 deaths by suicide per 100k people. You can review all of that here: https://worldpopulationrevi...cide-rate-by-country . Now, why is that important? Well, because the chart you're displaying is including SUICIDES by gun, as "gun violence." It's an exceptionally unfair comparison.
3 - As if I even need to come up with another reason after #2 and #1... the United States, particularly in liberal cities, has become extremely lax in enforcing laws and fighting crime. What you have is significant black on black crime. Now, I have theories for this. I personally believe that Democrat "leaders" are still the same people they were when they founded the KKK, and they view this as a way to "eliminate" certain groups of people, while pretending that they are there to still support them. Like building and maintaining Planned Parenthood offices in predominantly black and Hispanic neighborhoods, while pretending to help... when the actual history of Planned Parenthood is one of "ethnic cleansing" and eugenics. Never the less, if you take out the crime from Democrat-run cities, our numbers drop well below any of these countries.
So at best, this is being an apples to oranges comparison.

I wouldnt say liberal cities are lax at enforcing "laws"....they just prefer to enforce "laws" instead.
The difference being, what used to be considered "crime" (rape, robbery, carjacking, murder, theft, ect, ect, ect) is now considered "cultural enrichment and diversity" and forgivable.
What used to be considered freedom and an individual right (free thought, free speech, self defense, self determination, free assembly) is now a "hate crime" to be vigorously persecuted.
They didnt stop enforcing "laws", they just changed which ones they choose to enforce.

Oh, I forgot. People that are not allowed to vote never do. Much less twice or more.

I don't think there's information online about how criminals breakdown statistically, in terms of their political preferences, or even whether they voted or thought about politics at all.

Right. Only things online are true. They must be. They're online.
