What kinda crime stats though? I'm sure some countries in a state of anarchy have no laws of any kind period...

I'm not sure what this has to do with gun laws, but i understand both Costa Rica and Belize are countries were wealthy people go to hide their money from evil, overtaxing governments. I understand that these countries are replacing the Switzerlands and the Grand Cayman Is. of the world.

~USP

"[Even if there would be] few tears shed if and when the Second Amendment is held to guarantee nothing more than the state National Guard, this would simply show that the Founders were right when they feared that some future generation might wish to abandon liberties that they considered essential, and so sought to protect those liberties in a Bill of Rights. We may tolerate the abridgement of property rights and the elimination of a right to bear arms; but we should not pretend that these are not reductions of rights." -- Justice Scalia 1998

To dangus,I've seen the homicide rates for all the south american countries and agentina,chilie,guyana,french guyana and suriname are the only countries in south america that have lower homicide rates than the u.s.Keep in mind that suriname probaly has a higher homicide rate but most crimes in a lot of the south american countries go unreported.

You may want to contact the various South American consulate offices here in the US. They may be able to send you a package about "immigration" to their country that contains gun law data. I once did that for South Africa several years ago. Never went, though.
