In a PhD thesis, the researcher found no evidence that more legal guns results in more homicide.

Did the study distinguish criminal homicides from lawful defensive homicides?
One way to inflate the problem of “gun violence” is to include cases of lawful DGUs.

If I remember my history, Britain began to confiscate handguns in the 1920s claiming it was because of “crime”. In reality it was fear of Communism that they confiscated the guns.
By 1940, Britain had so few guns in private hands the Nazis could have invaded with no problems after Dunkirk. The British begged US citizens to “SEND A GUN TO DEFEND A BRITISH HOME!”
After the war, the government confiscated those gift guns and returned some to their original owners. The rest were dumped into the sea.

The ruling classes of western Europe are strongly against private gun ownership, but not really against crime at all.
