Mere stats don't answer the question of what gun policy leads to the safest society.
America has very liberal (as in open/lax) gun policies, yet we have obviously pretty heavy crime problems, not to mention a prison population off the scale.
Britain has seen rising crime while toughening gun laws.
Most of Europe has pretty good crime rates and pretty tight gun control.
So which combination do we say represents the 'formula'?
