Like the other guy pointed out, no, compared to warzones and developing countries the US isn’t at the top of the list. But compared to supposedly developed countries, formerly so-called “first world countries”? If the US wishes to identify as one, then yeah, it’s kinda murdery in comparison.
Age-adjusted firearm homicide rates in the US are 33 times greater than in Australia and 77 times greater than in Germany.
Gun violence accounts for over 8% of deaths in the US among those under age 20.
Age-adjusted rates of firearm homicide are highest in Washington, DC and lowest in New Hampshire.
You don’t think it’s even remotely fair for someone from a country with >77 times less murder to call the US “a bit murdery”?
