It's a point made in the movie IIRC - even if you subtract gun related deaths, the US has a higher homicide rates than other Western nations.
It's an interesting view into the psyche of so many of the people who are most pissed off about BFC that they are msotly treating it as an anti-gun movie and hysterical about the portrayl of the NRA.
Ironic, too, that in doing so they're guilty of the same sort of misrepresentation that they claim Moore is.
