As others note, the incidence of gun crime is actually surprisingly low. On top of it, the crime is radically uneven. Most of the country has rates equal too or far below those countries that have gun control, even when we are retaining our right to own arms. Most people focus though on per capita murders instead of violent crimes. Often, there is much more violent crime in countries in which there is gun control. So for those claiming you don't have to worry about getting shot, you do spend a lot more time worrying that someone is going to hit you on the head and mug you or break into your house.
