I was surprised when I first read this then I got to thinking about the deep south where religion of the non Buddhist type kills about 1000 people a year with bullets and bombs.

BANGKOK: -- The violent gun death rate in Thailand is more than TWICE as high as that of the United States, according to a US network of public radio broadcasters.
NPR ran the data from the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation after the recent mass shootings in California, and found Thailand had 7.48 violent gun deaths per 100,000 people in 2013.
That’s over twice the gun death rate in the US, which had 3.55 deaths per 100,000 people in the same year.
Thailand also has the highest gun death rate in Asia, the data shows.
It had 50% more deaths than the Philippines, which also beat the US gun death rate with 4.64 deaths per 100,000 people.
