Original Note:
USA ranked 3rd for the TOTAL number of firearm homicides (13,621 in 2021). Total annual firearm homicides for the listed cities: 765, ~300, ~100, ~199, ~358. US is still 3rd. These cities do have disproportionately high murder rates, but this meme does bad math. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/homicides-by-firearm?tab=table https://home.chicagopolice.org/statistics-data/statistical-reports/annual-reports/ https://www.areavibes.com/detroit-mi/crime/ https://mpdc.dc.gov/page/district-crime-data-glance https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/st-louis-homicide-statistics-for/pdf_194e030b-54e1-5c27-b108-90198e20b66c.html https://www.phillypolice.com/crime-maps-stats
