why would you need them?

To protect yourself? For one, our crime rates are so low you dont really have to defend yourself. Furthermore if nobody has a gun you dont have to own a gun to protect yourself against other people having guns.

Why would you want to own a gun? just curious.

Gun crime:

NL: 3.9 per 100.000 (rank 107)
USA: 88.8 per 100.000 (rank 1)

I could use an example of Kennesaw, Georgia (USA), in which the city REQUIRES you to own a gun. The crime rate has dropped 89% immediately and then there has not been a murder in the city since the law was passed (31 years ago)

Also, in countries such as England, 80% of cases of burglary are while people are home. While in America, it's as low as 12%.

You have a source for that? Because that seems highly unlikely that 8 out of every 10 burglaries happen when people are home.

My apologies, was 53%, but still, clearly very high.

Your chances of being mugged in London are now [as of 2002] six times greater than in New York. England’s rates of assault, robbery, and burglary are far higher than America’s, and 53 percent of English burglaries occur while occupants are at home, compared with 13 percent in the U.S., where burglars admit to fearing armed homeowners more than the police. In a United Nations study of crime in 18 developed nations published in July, England and Wales led the Western world’s crime league, with nearly 55 crimes per 100 people


Side note: Years do not matter as crime is not affected by this
