Homicides rates: United States 4.8[9] Germany 0.8

What do Germans have to do with concealed carry in Texas?

Just to show how much lower gun homicide rate has to go down to come even close to a normal country.
For all the gun fanatics that say everybody carrying guns actually prevent crimes.

Population estimates:
Germany : 80,585,700
Texas : 26,448,193
USA : 316,128,839

It would be more fair to compare the homicide rates of Germany to Texas than all of the states.

Do you have a clue what those numbers are and what homicide rate means?
4.8 and 0.8 are number or murders per 100 000 pop.
So , size is irrelevant.

But , let's do it against Texas based on all the crimes :
Germany 690 total crimes , Texas 1,248.
Twice the number at 1/3 population?

Ah figures.yes, the number of crimes in Texas is much higher. Or, the German police force is not detecting enough crimes, but I think it is the first.
