Guys, guys...relax
We all should not believe unconditionally everything we read or see.
Information vs. disinformation
public opinion/information vs. published opinion/information

...but there is no reason to become paranoid...lol

UNODC = united nations office on drugs and crime
Most dangerous countries in the world:
Venezuela
Guatemala
Columbia
South Africa
Jamaica

OECD country ranking:
Brasil
Russia
Mexico

And it is true, that the homicide numbers are declining in the U.S. (source UNODC website - data is 3 years old now) Licensed gun owners seem to be statisically "almost" neglectable.

homicide per 100.000 citizens
Germany = 0.8
U.K. = 1.2
Canada = 1.6
U.S.A = 4.7

Keep doors locked at all times, don't "invite" (or make it easy for) anyone to commit a crime.
Lets hope, that gun owners will never have to use it in their lifetime, statistically it seems to be the case.

Thank you for the "conversation", was interesting and I learned something, which is always good.
Personally, I wouldn't get that emotional about "that kinda stuff", but to each their own
