i don't have time to go searching for stuff. but its safe to say that more strict gun laws make the world a safer place for criminals.

one thing i noticed is a lot of asian countries have much lower crime rates. i'm not sure exactly why that is but i believe it comes down to their culture where its more group oriented and based more on respect for one another. so i believe if you want to combat crime you don't make it less risky for criminals, you try to change the values of your population which takes a lot of time and effort.
