Introduction
The debate over firearms is one of the most polarized topics in today’s political landscape. Amid emotional rhetoric, alarmist media narratives, and rigid ideological stances, empirical truth — that which is grounded in hard data, long-term studies, and comparative analysis — is often overlooked.
This article aims to bring back analytical rigor and present, in a clear and objective way, the most relevant scientific and statistical data on gun rights and civilian firearm ownership across the globe, with a focus on countries such as Brazil, the United States, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and India.
Far from partisan talking points, what emerges from a careful and evidence-based review is an unavoidable conclusion: less government control over legally owned firearms results in greater safety for responsible citizens.
The disarmament narrative — the belief that restricting civilian access to guns leads to peace and reduced crime — is not supported by the numbers. On the contrary, the data reveals that guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens not only provide effective self-defense, but also act as a powerful deterrent against crime, contributing to public safety and reinforcing individual freedoms.
