Now I get it.

Sorry, but citizens of Canada and Switzerland are less likely to be impoverished.

As far as I'm aware? Tell me If my statement is wrong. I don't get my news from Hannity so I may be mistaken.

You are probably right, although I think there's a big cultural factor in there too. If you just take the statistics of Americans of European descent the murder rate is comparable to Europe. There's a large overlap between poverty and culture, so it's not clear which factor is dominant. There are some relatively poor countries that have a low murder rate.

But that still doesn't explain the large difference between the murder rate in Chicago as compared to Houston, a comparable sized city with similar economic, racial, and ethnic makeup. The only glaring difference between those two cities is in the gun laws.
