Among developed nations, the United States has above-average levels of violent crime and particularly high levels of gun violence and homicide.[169] In 2007, there were 5.6 murders per 100,000 persons,[170] three times the rate in neighboring Canada.[171] The U.S. homicide rate, which decreased by 42% between 1991 and 1999, has been roughly steady since.[170] Gun ownership rights are the subject of contentious political debate.
A study reported in 1998 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that America accounted for 45% of the total gun-related deaths in the 36 countries studied. Between 1980 and 2006, the US has had on average more than 32,000 gun deaths per year.
