    Wow what you said sounds unkind but look at these statistics. Our nation wide murder rate per capita is similar to the global average and the countries where it's higher are the ones you dislike

    The **per capita murder rate in the United States** is significantly higher than in most other high-income countries but lower than in many low- and middle-income nations. Here's a comparison:

    ### 1. **United States**
    - The U.S. had a **murder rate of approximately 6.3 per 100,000 people** in 2021, though this can vary slightly depending on the year and source.
    - This rate is high compared to other developed countries but lower than in many developing nations.

    ### 2. **Other High-Income Countries**
    - Most high-income countries (e.g., Canada, Western Europe, Japan, Australia) have **murder rates below 1 per 100,000 people**.
    - For example:
    - **Canada**: ~2.0 per 100,000 (2021)
    - **Germany**: ~0.9 per 100,000
    - **Japan**: ~0.2 per 100,000
    - **United Kingdom**: ~1.2 per 100,000

    ### 3. **Global Comparison**
    - The **global average murder rate** is estimated to be around **6.1 per 100,000 people**, which is close to the U.S. rate.
    - However, some regions have much higher rates:
    - **Latin America and the Caribbean**: This region has some of the highest murder rates in the world. For example:
    - **El Salvador**: ~52 per 100,000 (2022)
    - **Honduras**: ~38 per 100,000
    - **Venezuela**: ~40 per 100,000
    - **Africa**: Many countries in sub-Saharan Africa also have high murder rates, though data is less consistent.

    ### 4. **Key Observations**
    - The U.S. murder rate is **higher than most other developed nations**, largely due to factors such as higher gun ownership, socioeconomic inequality, and urban violence.
    - However, it is **lower than the murder rates in many developing nations**, particularly in Latin America and Africa, where systemic issues like organized crime, political instability, and poverty contribute to higher rates.

    In summary, the U.S. murder rate is **above average for high-income nations** but **close to the global average**, with many developing nations experiencing significantly higher rates.
