USA gets a special position, though not being in the rank and seemed to be very safe for average traveler. But the numbers is unbelievable, over 200 million guns in the USA and more than 50 murders a day, 10 times the rate of Germany. Almost 5000 people die a year in truck crashes, about 6000 pedestrians die on the streets and 31000 people end their own lives. USA now leads all nations in violent crime and leads all nations with incarcerations now standing at 2.3 million. American citizens create greatest number of criminals serving time in overseas prisons. Militias, hate groups and other right wing radicals all spread their message of violence and are known to throw around the odd pipe-bomb. The government is not much better, spending a whopping $600 billion a year on defense in order to contain the handful of nations hostile to it.
