had higher crime rates than the countries you site even when gun laws were identical. Guns have little to do with crime rates. This can be demonstrated by a 20 year decline in violent crime in the US even though gun sales have continued, there are millions more guns in the US today than 20 years ago.
The countries you list here are largely single race societies. Poverty, and lack of health care are less of a problem in those countries. And again, they have always had less crime than the US.
