This video should also state that of the 8000 ["non-justifiable"] homicides, around 4000 of those are gang related (ie. black-on-black murders).
You're left with 4000 gun homicides spread over a population of 300 million. The gun homicide rate is very low in the US.
There is no "gun problem" in the US. This "debate" is a fabricated issue created for political leveraging, tv ratings, and the like. The pacifists in the US buy into it as do uninformed Canadians and British who watch American tv.
Compared to 28+ nations across the world, as the video indicates...
I've said this twice before on this board, that Fox pro gun affiliate's numbers are incorrect, so was Piers' numbers on gun homicides in Britain and the US. Piers' estimate on gun homicides in Britain was closer to the actual number of 41, but the Fox media was closer on the gun homicides in the US. The stats are provided by the United Nations, although not perfect as it does not include Russia or China on this chart, it does include 186 countries around the world.

The US has one of the worse gun homicides world wide on a per 100,000 population basis, it ranks 28th world wide at 2.97 and the worst is Honduras at an incredible 68.43, and on an absolute numbers basis the US ranks 5th worldwide at 9146, the worst is Brazil at 34, 678.

Point being, don't rely on those stats in that Ben Swann video. Also, for you to say there is no gun problem in the US is ignoring reality, actually the whole world has a gun problem, it's to what degree and what action is to be taken. The US most definitely has a gun problem and it is now being addressed.
