Since single examples are equal, would it make sense to ask the following questions to determine which is actually beneficial to most:
1) Which country has fewer people killed?
2) Are people more likely to be killed by someone engaging in another criminal act at the time, or more likely to be killed in an argument?
3) Are people more likely to be killed by someone sober or by someone who has been using drugs or alcohol?
4) Are some people genetically inclined to become criminals (killers), are their inclinations solely due to their environment, or is it a combination of factors?
