highest gun-ownership rate of any industrialized Western nation.
highest crime-rate of any industrialized Western nation.
highest imprisonment rate of any industrialized Western nation.
corrolation= causation? maybe, maybe not.
but certainly, the evidence shows that more guns does NOT mean more safety.
Murder rate is likely related to guns since guns make it easier to kill. But that would be a guess, and it's not to say that overall we suffer higher violent crime in general. Highest per capita number of guns is of course related to the fact that we allow guns; so that's a no-brainer. Highest prison rate is because the government loves to throw people in jail and we have laws against pretty much everything. That one isn't so much related to guns as much as it's related to overzealous government and its use of force against the People.
