So:

30 guns fired / 10.10^6 people vs 1 000 police murders / 325.10^6 people.

3.10^-6 guns fired per capita vs 3.10^-6 murders per capita.

Couldn't find the Swedish police murders stats. I'd estimate on their police murders per capita to be 2 or 3 orders of magnitude less than the USA.

On the other hand Chicago had nearly 2 murders/day last year [0]. and 3/4 were from a gun, I certainly wouldn't wanna be the cop who has to walk those streets without one.
