I have no researched evidence to back this up so don't completely flame me if it is incorrect.
But I remember hearing that in Switzerland, I believe, that every household is issued a rifle and trained how to use it by the government. Now I am the first to advocate the removal of bureaucratic intervention in everyday life, but in this case it seems to have worked because (once again IIRC) Switzerland has one of the lowest gun related crime rates in the world.
The reason because everyone know that everyone else know how to use a gun and therefore can protect themselves, their family and their property!!
Tell me that education isn't the key to keeping crime and other gun related cases under control and we need to have a serious discussion.
