I think there are a couple of big differences between the USA and other countries. 1) The right to keep and bear arms is written into our Constitution, in the Bill of Rights. It would take a massive effort throughout all of the states to remove it. 2) Americans would rather use their firearms to protect their Second Amendment right than to give it up willingly. Because the federal government is so out of control, states are nullifying federal legislation that unconstitutionally violates the Second Amendment.

People who want to live in victim-rich zones are free to move to a state that constricts their right to self defense. As for me, I'll stay right here with my neighbors and all our guns, thank you very much.
