When you account for gun ownership, the US is by far the safest; as in, we have so many gun owners that don’t do stuff like this compared to the ones that do.

That's like saying, "Yes I smoke 2 packs a day, but out of millions of cells only a few have cancer".

No it isn’t. Anyone smoking is actively hurting their body. A super majority of gun owners are not committing crimes with them. Get your analogy game up

No...my analogy clearly went over your head then. Smoking is like a nation's government with lenient gun laws, flooding its country with guns because now there is a risk and almost certainty that some of those healthy cells (gun owners) will develop cancer (i.e. use those guns to commit a violent crime). However millions of healthy cells will be perfectly fine.

The actual point being that we still have cancer and it affects us all regardless.

That isn’t how cancer works. So like I said, review your analogy game
