the U.S.'s annual gun homicide rate of 2.97 fatalities per 100,000 people is triple the rate seen in most of the world's other wealthy nations

Bullshit. Statement completely unsupported by the data It is four times the rate of the second ranked wealthy nation (Switzerland, where 72% of all homicides are by firearm, and, coincidentally, every able-bodied man has a gun).

More like ten times the rate seen in most of the world's other wealthy nations.

It is rightly acknowledged that people of faith have no monopoly of virtue - Queen Elizabeth II
