>Per-capita firearm-related deaths in Switzerland are 7 times lower than in the US

If you break gun violence down in the US by race, you get results that are much closer to Europe.

>Nationally, the U.S. gun homicide rate (per 100,000 people) in 2020 was 26.6 for people identified as Non-Hispanic Black, compared to 2.2 for those identified as Non-Hispanic white and 4.5 for Hispanic individuals of any race.

And indeed you can observe the gun homicide rate in Sweden has doubled since 2016 precisely because of demographic change.

Sweden:

2016: 0.301

2017: 0.398

2018: 0.423

2019: 0.438

2020: 0.463

2021:0.430

2022: 0.597
