  • Detroit’s gun homicide rate (35.9) is just a bit less than El Salvador (39.9)
  • Gun murder in Newark (25.4) and Miami (23.7) is comparable to Colombia (27.1).
  • Washington D.C. (19) has a higher rate of gun homicide than Brazil (18.1).

  • Baltimore’s rate (29.7) is not too far off that of Guatemala (34.8).
  • Atlanta’s rate (17.2) is about the same as South Africa (17).
  • The pattern is staggering. A number of U.S. cities have gun homicide rates in line with the most deadly nations in the world.
  • If it were a country, New Orleans (with a rate 62.1 gun murders per 100,000 people) would rank second in the world.

    Obviously this site is biased (basically the opposite of the NRA), but it seems like they have some pretty good stats. And if you want to look up gun laws by state: http://smartgunlaws.org/gun-laws-matter-2012-understanding-the-link-between-weak-laws-and-gun-violence/ And you can just click on the state and it'll give a summary of that state's gun laws.
