    In 2023, the United States had the highest homicide rate among G7 countries, with 5.76 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants.

    This was significantly higher than other G7 nations like Canada (1.98 per 100,000) and Japan (0.23 per 100,000). The US firearm homicide rate is also notably higher than that of other industrialized countries, with some studies showing it to be 26 times greater.

    Everyone in America has already lost this competition. Californians and Alabamans are arguing over whose shit stinks worse, while they’re up to their hips in excrement.
