    Really only South America (actually mostly central America and Brazil) and South Africa, Mali and Somalia fit into that stereotype. The rest of Africa and all of Asia (except Thailand, which is still significantly lower than the US) have very low rates of gun violence.

      Some are higher, some are lower. I’m not trying to comment on stereotypes, I’m just saying the person pushing “USA is the only country with gun violence” (paraphrase) just can’t see past their nose.
