What are you babbling about. I gave cites that show that Britain, gun free and all, has the highest crime rate of all industrialized countries.
So they have less hand gun murders and more crime over all. Could that be beacause criminals in the UK have nothing to fear from their victims. Amazing what that does to your rosey scenario.

Idaho has one of the lowest per capita violent crime rates of any state, with only a few states such as Utah and Vermont doing better. Every household that I’m aware of has a firearm. If you don’t happen to own one, no problem ( and no need to register ). Just buy one from the classified section of the local newspaper. Or just own your own business in a rural area, plenty of people offered me guns in lieu of money when they were short.
Outlawing guns through legislation won’t work, at least not around here. The last time a piece of legislation was considered to ban certain assault rifles, people here, just swarmed to gun shows and gun shops to buy whatever type of firearm was being considered for banishment from personal use.

Why don't you "BAN ALL GUNS NOW" people read what this poster is saying?
An entire state exists in relative peace and safety and has one of the highest rates of gun ownership. It's highly suggestive that violent crime is not only a product of gun availability.
