As you move away from a society where civilians have guns to one where the state has the guns you will see some conflicting reporting.

For instance although civilian caused firearm related deaths may be down, those caused by the state go up. Obviously deaths caused by the executive branch arent considered murders or crimes so they won't be listed in the crime statistics.
