More than 50% of that 10.84 consists of suicides - a fairly typical, convenient omission for folks with an agenda. "Get killed" would imply that "you" weren't the actor doing the killing.

Somalia suicide rate: 7.90 per 100K

United States suicide rate: 14 per 100K

How many of these US and Somalia deaths are associated with organized crime?

Considering the rate of "regret"[1] on failed suicide attempts, this isn't the slam dunk you think it is.

The original comment was:

> You're more likely to get killed using a gun in the US than Somalia

How is suicide or the regret thereof relevant to "getting killed?"
