MEXICO CITY - Schools across Mexico are teaching students to dive to the floor and cover their heads as urban gunfights between drug gangs multiply in the violence-torn country.
Guns are not allowed in Mexico. If you carry a gun there, and do nothing with it and the police notice you have one they will send you to prison for 25 years.

Which country do you think it's safer to be a tourist in? Personally, I'm glad we have the right to bear arms.
Yes, guns are allowed in Mexico. Mexican citizens have the right to bear arms - but foreigners don't.
New Year's Eve is always ushered in with a blaze of gunfire into the air.

I'd wonder about your connection between your idealized vision of safety and mass gun ownership. Our murder rate in the U.S. is actually quite high in comparison to other industrialized nations in the world and many of those do not allow for Uneducated Joe Blow to own himself 5 rifles and an uzi.
Myself, I feel comfortable in my surroundings despite the fact that our citizens are allowed unbelievable freedoms concerning guns, not because of it.

Actually, in most states, any 18 year old who doesn't have a violent crime conviction or felony can purchase a powerful rifle and let it sit in their closet, take it out and shoot some targets, and maybe go hunting, which is what 99.9% of all gun owners do with their guns.
