What really matters is the number of homicides and violent crimes as a percentage of the total population. Different countries use different standards of classification for violent crimes. Also, if a violent crime is averted by the victim pulling his pistol and scaring away the criminal without firing a shot, that type of thing does not normally become part of the crime statistics.
Usually never reported and if it is, ignored. As the libs like to tell us, “There are NO defensive handgun/firearm uses ever in the entire country. EVER!” Yup. As we are all well aware now, people with guns just want to wave Johnny Reb flags and shoot black people. About the riots that DIDN’T happen in Charleston..............
