Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the US has more gun deaths than other developed countries?

Yes. A peer-reviewed comparison of high-income OECD countries found the US firearm death rate was about 10 times higher than other developed countries, and a commentary on that study reiterates the disparity. Two books repeat the claim without data.
