Remember: we can't ever do anything about ANYTHING unless it's the top of a list. Non-violent deaths outnumber deaths by violence! Oh well, we can't do anything about violence then. Might as well throw up our hands and ignore it.
So, I guess this means conservatives have to stop complaining about government overreach and apparent loss of "freedoms". After all, according to "statistics", lots of other countries have it much worse in terms of levels of "freedom". We need to deal with THOSE first! We have charts and everything to prove it!
Or, we could just point out that your chart is just plain wrong, the data is complete hogwash, and it was apparently put together by folks who either are woefully undereducated on the actual statistics on these issues, or who must think lying is a good way to score political points.

But other people upthread already did that.
