Yes, us Norwayers sure can make do with simple tools. Only 10% of the murders here are gunshots. That is about 4 gunshot deaths per year.
In the US then, 2/3 of all murders are with guns?

2016
15,070 Homicides
11,004 were firearm related, or 73%.
2016 U.S. population- 323,400,000
Taking those numbers,
That’s 0.00004666% of the population, or 4.66563467 per 100,000 in 2016.
Taking those further,
That’s 0.00003403% of the population,
or 3.403 per 100,000 by a firearm in 2016.
I think the intent of your original argument was that the U.S. was 10 & then 5. I’m sure you read that somewhere. My intent is to clear that up.
People have been killing each other for at least 6,000 years.
Taking guns out of the equation like the Regressives of our country would like will only make more Victims.
I suppose they are ok with that: I’m not.
The U.S. is unlike any other Country in the World.
Maybe they should focus cleaning up their messes where strick Gun Control laws are already in place.
