One thing also to consider is the US population is very large. If adjusted per capita, you'll notice that Australia, acountry that literally banned all guns, is second, waaaaaay ahead of the U.S.
Hey there kiddo, Australia is second on that list because that list is showing countries in alphabetical order. Did you even check the data before linking it to see if it matched your claim? Look at the actual numbers, the U.S. is in the top 10% of most deaths by firearms out of the countries on that list. The data says the exact opposite of what you claimed it would say.
I was going to make an observation regarding this but then I read on and I saw that Omar in post 7 said almost word-for-word what I was going to say before I even saw him say it or knew that anyone had responded to you.
You instinctively thought the data would support your worldview instead of seeing the data without your biases.
I am sitting here typing this and I have not even pressed the post button yet I already know exactly what your response will be. I already know your first instinct is to dismiss this out of hand. You're thinking "I am not like other people, I don't have any such inherent bias. I am better than that."
This goes beyond not noticing that the list on Wikipedia was in alphabetical order. I imagine that every time you hear this topic discussed someone advocating for less gun control makes a claim similar to the one you just made and after hearing this claim so many times you simply internalized it and accepted it without question.
You just accepted it for no reason other than because it matched with your pre-existing opinion.
Go on thinking that you are immune to bias though. Go on thinking that the people you identify as 'your crowd' knows something that nobody else knows. I can't change your mind because I'm not the one that put those ideas in your head in the first place. Funny thing is, you didn't either.
