If this is true, why are murder rates higher in the states than anywehre else in the first world?

The protection argument is not feasiable. People are better protected in countries that don't have them.

A person who owns a gun is far FAR more like to shoot someone they know with it, than defend themselves with it.

The actual cases of someone defending themselves successfully with a gun are the miniscule of miniscule. More often they just escalate things. And after that they cause accidents.

Another baseless and statisically incorrect argument from gun lovers.
