Slow your roll.  What is the denominator for them there statistics?  Any level of gun violence is too high but that graph (with no references) appears to be worthless.

Slovakia is a shocker ! O_o' Anyone would know why they're so high and no other "comparable" country (like Ukraine, Bielorussia...) is in there ? I guess we don't have the figures for all countries though...

What a terrible chart.  There's no adjusting for population disparity.  Per capita (the only measurement that matters), with those numbers, Mexico is basically tied with the US, not way behind, and the three countries ahead of the US are ahead by absolutely staggering amounts.  Hell, per capita with those numbers, Albania, Slovakia, and El Salvador are also ahead of the US, and there may be a few others.
