Separating crimes committed with firearms, vs all crimes of violence committed invariably leads to inaccurate conclusions,
While you are more likely to be shot in the US than say England
You are three times more likely to be a victim of violent crime in England than the US
And a person stabbed or beaten to death, is no better off than a person shot to death
And when you factor in a person who has the right to own a firearm for self defence, and chooses to exercise that right, the odds of being a victim of violent crime are nearly non existent,
Even factoring in that a person who chooses to commit an act of violence, who also owns a firearm, will choose to use that firearm to commit said act of violence, the same person without access to a firearm can still commit rape robbery murder or suicide.
