Deadly Matter]You told the numbers for the US. How about for all of Europe? They are about the same size. Compare apples to apples. A single state in the US is comparable to most countries there.
USA have 4.6 murders per 100k population. Most of europe have 1-2 per 100k, except the countries with ongoing ethnic/religious/etc conflicts. The old soviet block countries are a bit too high but it's understandable, only 25 years since communism imploded and everyone is fighting for their piece. Canada have 1.6 per, Australia 1.1 per, UK 1 per. All countries with good firearms legislation and law enforcement. Hell, even we have 1.9 and we're not that strict about it.
In exact numbers, if you had our rates that would translate in about 8000-10000 less murders per year. I can only speculate a guess - about 50% of it can be tied to your gun abundancy.
