South Africa and Sweden Outkill the U.S.
The blame-America-firsters such as stupid white man Michael Moore try to depict the United States as a hotbed of murder and violence, but this time they're even wronger than usual.
South Africa is the world's bloodiest nation, The Economist notes, with a shocking 114.8 murders for each 100,000 people, compared to only six in the U.S. and two in Japan, according to Interpol.
More than 21,000 South Africans were killed last year, "worse than some war zones."
Other countries that outkilled the U.S. on Interpol's list aren't a surprise: Brazil, Russia, Botswana, Zambia, Angola.
But here's one that might startle you: Sweden, supposedly the land of granola-munching socialist peaceniks, had 10 murders for every 100,000 people. Yes, Sweden is branching out and is no longer just Suicide Central.
Maybe Stockholm will take a cue from our Second Amendment and allow its citizens the right to defend themselves from its out-of-control population of greasy-haired blond killers.

Yep, a wide-spread distribution of guns will sure bring down those murder rates!
the problem in Sweden certainly isn't to few guns. there is a couple of main reasons why it is like that:
Nr one, Sweden only has about 15 000 cops, in a country with 9 million people that is not to many...
Nr two, some years ago there was an unsuccessful reform of the Swedish psychopathic policies. it has resulted in to many mentally ill people out on the streets. Last year they (the mental ill people...) where up to about 30% of all murders. And yes we are on our way doing a new reform...

Yah I was going to add, along with what St Andrew said,
Swedens pop of 9mil will obviously skew statistics. Of course a 'per' number will appear higher. But beyond that they dont need a 2nd Amendmend- they do have guns, rifles and whatnot. Its really more of just the overall cultural ideal of non-violence that keeps the numbers down for the large part I believe|

One thing that surprises me is why no one is discussion the Anna Lindh murder. She was 2nd behind Goran Persson, the countries PM - and murdered while shopping in broad daylight. Its quite shocking, and moreso that they cannot catch the murderer, much like when Olaf Palme was assassinated in the 80s...
In Dagens Nyheter, one of the main newspapers in Stockholm, they were discussing how the law prohibiting the display faces of suspects in crimes was directly influence arrests. They have multiple photos of the subject, but since the general public cannot ID him from the news, thos 15000 cops are having a hell of a time finding him-|

I also recall lots of Neo-Nazi vanadlism throughout Sweden (where it's apparently allowed to have such "demonstrations" ). Something fucked up in the north

Sweden is the country with the highest standards of living. In every aspect. I went once on a trip, for like only 2 days though. But it was fascinating. Awesome country. I loved it. Waitresses there arent Swedish, but from other countries.. its like, they wont go that low. For real. They are so prepare against any war and everything else. Its gov't and economy are one of the bests. So it is surprising to see that high killing rate.. really.
And the chicks.. OH MY JEEEEZ!!! its heaven!
