Don't the statistics of gun ownership correlate with less violent crime though. For example there's more gun crime in Chicago and Detroit where I understand it's illegal to carry a gun compared with other parts of USA where it is. Also Switzerland doesn't have a reputation for gun crime. Unfortunately it seems that certain groups of society(blacks), no matter which society that is in the world, are more predisposed to violent crime and they are the ones who create the vast majority of gun crimes statistics.
