Things can be less safe AND less deadly at the same time. Lots of countries in the world have much lower homicide rates (lower rates of gun ownership being one factor) but MUCH higher rates of crimes like car theft, mugging, etc. Just saying, one metric isn't the whole picture of safety.

we use homicide rate cause its much harder to "juke" the stats. You can't really rely on those other stats cause we know they're lied about in the US (and probably elsewhere).
