I don't know if this is true or not but I once heard if you got rid of the five most violent cities, we would go from number 1 in gun violence to the middle two hundreds
I wish I had that infographic saved somewhere as it is nearly impossible to search for, but yeah I remember the same. IIRC it had multiple steps showing that if you reduce the stats to just White European descended Americans and remove suicides we have a gun violence rate less than or equal to countries like Finland.

Yes, but it's not a super fair comparison, since every other country would still have their crime-ridden shitholes, pushing up their numbers.
That said, it's still a useful comparison, since it does help against the narrative that the USA is dangerous overall, because of all them dang guns.
