There does appear to be one. It is an INVERSE correlation. As the rate of gun ownership INCREASES, the rate of violent crime DECREASES.

What is the gun ownership rate of US citizens?

The US has the highest level of gun ownership in the world at about 88.8%; 34% higher than the next highest, Yemen. It's interesting to consider and not wholly unrelated that South Africa's gun ownership rate is 12.7 (which puts it at about 50th of all nations) but has a murder by gun rate of 74.57:100,000 as opposed to that of the US, 15.22:100,000, making the murder rate in South Africa the highest in the world. One has to wonder if the South African murder rate would be lower if more people there owned guns legally.

What country with the strictest gun laws has the highest gun crime rate?

It's hard to say, since reporting of crime tends not to be the best in these countries. Mexico and Brazil are both notorious for this, but they'll probably both pale in comparison to a place like Somalia, which tends to be overlooked in these things, given its status as a failed state.


Is there gun control in other countries?

Yes. Most cities have more onerous gun control laws than the United States does. However, many of them still have higher crime rates than the US does, and within the US, the states and cities with the strictest gun control laws often have the highest crime rates, such as Chicago and Washington, D.C.
