No, we're not. But when it comes to gun related crime, we're mid pack in a group with the US at the bottom.
And you're right. Gun control has some effects on crime, but not in the way that many other societal factors do. It's not that crime in the US is created by access to guns. It's that your much higher crime rates (compared to many other first world nations) mean more gun related crime, period.
