That the worlds most industrialized country has the worst rate of murder,suicide and accidental death, as well as injury ,than all the other combined first world countries.

I don't believe any of that is true.

Taiwan, Northern Ireland, and Brazil all have higher murder rates than the USA. Japan's suicide rate is far higher than ours.

Accidental death by gunshot is actually rare in the USA, and has been on a steady downward trend for over 100 years. There were just 642 accidental shooting deaths in the USA reported for 2006. Far more people die from falling (20,823), drowning (3,579), etc. than by accidental gunshot.
