If you remove the gun homicides from the US cities with the most restrictive gun laws the US drops to fourth from the bottom of homicides by gun. Simple proof.
Our society is much different from other countries. Comparing different societies is fruitless.

Frankly - the crime rate is much higher in the US than it is in Canada, Australia, New Zeland, England......and the list goes on. Countries that do not allow you to own/carry handguns have lower crime rates. That's a fact.
While carrying a handgun may make you feel better, it sure isn't reducing crime that I can see.
