Holy crap. Among first world wealthy nations we are. 

We have way more firearm violence than Canada, England, Australia and Japan, just to name a few.

Well, you can prove anything if you keep adding conditions.  For example, you have the highest rate of gun violence of all countries located between Canada and Mexico, but you have the lowest rate of gun violence among countries where people call themselves 'Americans'.
