A common comparison is to Australia.

Pretty good video.
I’ve become quite addicted to audiobooks about this subject. So far, my 2 favorites are Glenn Beck’s “Control: Exposing the Truth About Guns,” and “That Every Man Be Armed,” by Stephen P. Halbrook.

We continually get tangled up in what other countries are doing... Don’t care! The numbers you are stating are only for the law abiding gun owners and you are using legal gun ownership as the comparison for illegal gun ownership and use. The FBI reports on their website that there were 8,583 ( http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8 ) gun related deaths in 2011 and it is an accepted statistic that over 70% are gang related, thus unpreventable, that leaves nearly 2600 “preventable” gun related deaths per year.
Treat the gangs as terrorist organizations and dump them all in prison and reduce gun related deaths by 70% and then focus on the “preventable” gun incidents.
