A useful indicator of this particular relationship is to examine countries (of the developed world) with strong civil disarmament regimes and compare the levels of violence in those societies. Let’s begin this analysis with the U.K. Using an aggregate of data from an E.U. Commission and the U.N. we see that the rates of violent crimes (per 100k people) don’t read favorably for England with 2,034/100k as compared to South Africa’s rate of 1,609/100k, or Canada which weighs in at 935/100k. Showing a much lower 466/100k, the well-armed citizenry of the U.S.A. enjoy a much safer lifestyle.
