Jamaica is a third world country.

Like many Third World countries, Jamaica is plagued by poverty, unemployment, drug-fueled gang violence, and political corruption. The unemployment rate in Jamaica is over 12 percent. Employed Jamaicans earn an average minimum wage comparable to just over 50 American dollars a week. In 2005, Jamaica had the highest murder rate per capita in the world.

Jamaica is widely accepted under the definition of third world...definitely not of the first world category the US is part of.

But sure...keep comparing guns laws between Jamaica and the US if you like. You are just comparing apples to walnuts is all.
So "Grio" says that it is 3rd world, with greater than 12% unemployment... That's not 3rd world, that's Newfoundland!

It's a little hard to compare ultra high murder rates, and low gun ownership without including developing, or "3rd world countries".

Is there any other way that you would like the data vetted to be more favourable to your argument?
