And look at Mexico. Some of the strictest gun laws in the world and crime runs rampantLook at Switzerland. Nation with 3rd largest gun ownership and less crime than Britain
Once again, to the people who think "but look at muh Switzerland" is a viable argument in any way: despite having a large amount of privately owned firearms, Switzerland has very strict gun regulations. As in, publicly carrying firearms is strictly prohibited unless you obtain a special permit that is only granted to people in certain situations, such as those working in private security. Also, the reason Switzerland has so many guns is because their army is actually a militia. Everyone has to undergo military training at a certain age and is afterwards given a state-issued rifle that does not come with any ammunition and is to be kept at home while in wait of a military conflict.
