I am well aware of REALITY
Europe, Canada, Japan, S Korea is much safer than we are
Europe is changing.....their welfare states are creating more and more fatherless young males and their rise in violence shows this...besides that, Britain is more violent than the U.S.....Canada...increasing violence as well....Japan is essentially a police state in a society that puts a premium on conformity....their crime rates have always been small.....and yet, their Yakuza up to 2006, settled their feuds with fully automatic weapons and grenades....
And with Britian....with their increasing levels of violence you have the fact that their police can't stop the increasing flow of illegal guns into the country...
So you think you can use them as examples...when, in fact, their countries are becoming more violent, not less....
Meanwhile, as more Americans own guns.....
Over the last 26 years, we went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 17.25 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2018...guess what happened...
--
gun murder down 49%
--gun crime down 75%
--violent crime down 72%
Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.
This shows your hypothesis holds no water....
