A perfect example of what I'm talking about. If we look at western countries, the US leads in homicide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intention.... You're narrative doesn't fit the data.

It's certainly a perfect example that people see what they want to see, even when presented with overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
I'm talking about you, by the way.
Defensive gun use is far more common in the USA than murders by firearms:

No tangible benefit? Even 100,000 people saved by guns annually (the low end number) is "tangible benefit".
According to the CDC, there are 11k homicides by firearms: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/homicide.htm
If you look at other countries, when guns are banned there is a shift from guns to other methods of killing ,but not a significant decline in homicides.
This is what you see when looking at the data.
