We can debate how much culpability the US has here. But nevertheless, we are #20 baby.
Interestingly, the article also said US gun deaths have decreased as a % of population. The high was back in 1974? This kinda surprised me, article didn't state any reasons for this.

While 2020 saw the highest total number of gun deaths in the U.S., this statistic does not take into account the nation’s growing population. On a per capita basis, there were 13.6 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 2020 – the highest rate since the mid-1990s, but still well below the peak of 16.3 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 1974.
