Not trying to hijack the thread, but do you care to share your source?
I too wrote an essay on this subject not long ago, here is a brief article I used at the time:

That article is over three years old, but still very much true I believe. So it would appear, that while your fine country has a much higher rate of violent crimes, it also has a much lower rate of murders. I hate to say it, but it certainly looks like a case for the "gun-control" crowd. But of course some could argue it was due to different cultures and such.
