The most obvious anomalies have to do with large gun presence in some places; Switzerland or Finland (even Canada!) have plenty of guns but few murders, while the UK has almost no guns but an abundance of murders.
This premise contradicts the author's conclusion that gun violence "just happens" because guns are physically present.
