The Villages population is self-selected to be older and more stable than the average violent younger character throughout the whole US. That is not a good comparison. Rather, compare US violent gun crimes with ANY other country and the US death rate due to guns is GREATLY ahead of Spain, Germany, or any other country. Those charts are easy to find. Increased gun availability equates to greater gun death - it is pretty logical.
