I bet I can find the correlation.  Look at the out of wedlock child/single parent stats for those same countries.  I haven't yet, but that is my bet. 

Any takers?  or better answers?

I think the movie "Winter's bone" does a good job of explaining part of it.

Compare those numbers to the numbers of disarmed Citizens murdered by their Govt's

Those numbers are irrefutable

Sometime back, using the latest crime stats from the FBI and using Brady Bunches, "gun rating" I plotted the 50 states, murder verses gun ownership.    While not exactly the same as per-capita gun ownership it did at least plot  "availability" of guns (according to Brady)  with crime rates.

The net was a flat line.  Zero correlation.    I don't mean even some, itsy-bitsy tilting, zero, nada.

take a sample of 2 cities, New Orleans, and LA one has restrictive gun laws, the other does not.
Both have high crime rates. what else do they have in common since it not the "easy availability of guns causing those rates.
The same factors that contribute to high crime rates in NY, Chicago, Boston, and Detroit, etc, etc.
Long term domination by the "entitlement Union Democrats" and a large minority community for them to cater to.
