Gun owners commit less crime

And when law abiding citizens have guns, crime drops

A fantasy which flies in the face of reason and empirical evidence. With 300-400 million guns, we should be pretty much crime-free by now. (And polite! No road-rage-showdowns here, by golly!) States with higher gun ownership should have lower, not higher crime rates. And those unfortunate peer countries with waaaay fewer guns than us should be crime-filled hellholes.

But oddly, none of those things are true.

Why is that?
I believe that guns crime has more to do with income, rather than safety from owning a gun. However, the CDC studied this in 2008 and found 600,000-1.2million defensive gun uses per year. But due to pressure from anti gunners (and Obama), they forced the CDC to remove it:
