Poll question: In a study that compares gun ownership rate and murder rate what size nations should be included

A country with 100,000 probably should not be included.

Pick the population size that should be required to be included in the study

Also if you think a country should be excluded explain why

2. why not?
we seem to be an outlier but when we compare 100+ nations we don't affect the average as much as you'd think.

The main problem are small nations and nations that straight up lie about their murder rates
