And many of us pro-2nd ammendment yanks would LOVE to return to the crime rates per capita experienced by the "wild west." CR can provide you with the links, no doubt, but research suggests crime in the Old West -- wherein personal firearms were nearly ubiquitous -- was significantly LOWER than we experience now. Basing your assessment of that historical era on "Once Upon A Time In The West" or some such is even more off-base than trying to generalize from single anecdotal data points.
