I think things would be better in the US if there were fewer/no guns in the hands of the general civilian population, the murder rate as it stands compared to a similiar country without widespread gun ownership backs me up on this. I'm not a fan of vigilantes, so the police will have to look after my neighbourhood instead.
Then how do you explain a country like Switzerland that has even more guns per capita than the US but a crime rate below both the US and similar countries. Not just guns either but real by God assault weapons...
