In the UK, were there is very strict gun laws, more home invasions happen while the victims are home compared to the US, because the criminals are afraid of being shot.

PS: Criminals don't obey the law so stricter gun laws will take guns from the public and result in only criminals having guns. This would undoubtedly increase crime rates.
