Gun control and violent crime

The most violent country in Europe: Britain is also worse than South Africa and U.S. | Mail Online: "In the UK, there are 2,034 offences per 100,000 people"

"The U.S. has a violence rate of 466 crimes per 100,000 residents, Canada 935, Australia 92 and South Africa 1,609."

The UK has much more restrictive gun control than the U.S. but so does Australia.

"But criminologists say crime figures can be affected by many factors, including different criminal justice systems and differences in how crime is reported and measured.

In Britain, an affray is considered a violent crime, while in other countries it will only be logged if a person is physically injured."
