Obviously you believe this relationship to be true because you wrote it, but I could also say that there are few guns in many other countries and little crime.
And you may interpret the intention of the second ammendment however you wish, but there are many that feel a "well armed militia" has nothing to do with your rights to own as many guns as you please.
Not a popular opinion I know, but as seriously as you take your right to own firearms, I just as strongly believe you shouldn't have that right, at least not without a lot tighter controls.
