The resulting #1 out of 52 countries award is hard to square with the fact that Mexico ranked #49 out of 52 for safety.

Safety is a poorly measured and applied variable. I've ALWAYS felt safer here than I ever did in the USA where every crazy redneck and their cousin/brother can buy an Uzi, an AR-15 and a .50 cal Barrett.

Wow! 800 rounds/minute! That's gonna be on a lot of Christmas wishlists in the United States of Airheads. When will 2nd Amendmenters be able to purchase a "nuclear-bomb-in-a-briefcase", and will "open carry" rules still apply?

Gobsmacked at how normal it is now for US politicians to parade around with weapons of war, posing for a Christmas photo with their up-armored family.

Already there. According to the Wiki, that weapon was used in the Orlando nightclub shooting.

Agreed. A high hippiness score and a high I-don't-feel-safe score seem a bit contradictory.
I certainly feel safer here than in the US. Not only less likely to be a crime or shooting victim, but also, I feel safer from the police. I do not however feel real confident about driving at night.

"I feel safer from the police."
I know driving through Texas (or many podunk towns in the midwest) my odds of getting pulled over by a cop and jailed or mugged is greater than the threat from a "criminal." File under: Sandra Bland.
