You have no idea how hard it is to find accurate data about certain trends in South America.

And yet, whoever wrote LL's BBC article appears confident enough to present gun/violence data from Venezuela.

We do have fairly reliable stats for the US. It would be interesting to see how they compare to Venezuela.  E.g., I believe the murder rate in one city, Dallas, is 12.4 per 100,000, as mentioned in this article.  That would be double the global average given in LL's article.
