Geoff could do a nifty chart of the correlation between how Free a country is compared to the likelihood of getting whacked.
Meh. A more useful and fairer comparison would be deaths as a percentage of the countries’ populations. I think we would get a VERY different map. Also it looks like they’re using a very narrow definition of “violent death”. War zones are obviously not included here. Also is this a specific year or an average?
Meh.

Some of that data is available in the fine print below the map, and readable if you blow it up.

‘cuz she’s a BRIC……HOUSE
“Gun control” – meaning more guns more murders or visa versa. Gun control does not prevent crime. “Bad guys” don’t buy guns – they steal them. Liberals always blame crime on honest, hard working armed people not the criminals they release early to pick up on their previous criminal activities.
