Correct. Significantly more homicides than any country in Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand and majority of Asia.

Going by those stats you are more than FIVE TIMES more likely to be murdered in the US than here in Aus. They can do a lot better.
 
A significant difference is who has access to firearms and as with most things education is a factor.

In Switzerland they have mandatory national service and one of the highest gun ownership in the world yet they have a very low rate of incidents.

Their law states "The right to acquire, possess and carry arms is guaranteed in the framework of this law"

Take the guns off the the streets and you won't reduce the criminal problem, take the criminals off the streets and you will reduce the gun problem !
 
  • According to the Pew Research Center, almost two-thirds of America’s annual gun deaths are suicides. Since 1981, when the Centers for Disease Control began publishing data, gun suicides have outnumbered gun homicides. In 2010 alone, 19,392 Americans used guns to kill themselves.

Switzerland has free healthcare, a wealthy society, good safety net etc.
The USA now has no wage support, little healthcare support etc. This creates the problems. China now has a lower birthing death rate for mothers and babies than the USA. And China is not that good compared to us or Switzerland.

Of all the US shootings that made headlines over the last few years, I have never heard one report blaming law abiding gun owners.

The blame has mainly been placed on the easy accessibility of guns particularly by those who are young, mentally unstable or terrorist orientated. The easy accessibility of guns can be laid squarely at the feet of the NRA, its lobbyists and those in congress who accept funding from them.

3 REASONS WHY RAP IS THE BEST MUSIC OUT THERE
https://rappingmanual.com/3-reasons-why-rap-is-the-best-music-out-there/
Rap is arguably one of the most creative art forms in music. We can combine powerful words and phrases, with intricate and complex rhyme schemes, all delivered in a melodic and rhythmic structure, which captivates the heart and soul of the listener. Having all those options and possibilities of being creative, rap artists get confused and often limit themselves, as to how they rap.
