@ Mach: So what you are saying then is that as gun ownership numbers have no effect on violent crime numbers owing guns is a futile exercise for personal protection as you are just as likely to be a victim of violent crime whether there are large numbers of guns in the population or not.
Unfortunately your argument is not backed up by evidence.
