Off the top of my head, I know this is true in countries such as Sweden and Denmark. Yet, there are other factors. Both of those countries are in Europe and neither countries legally allows its citizens to have firearms unlike the U.S.
You can't realistically compare the U.S. to much smaller countries such as individual European countries....you'd have to compare the U.S. with Europe as a whole....western europe as well as eastern europe. And if you did that, then the answer to your question would defintiely be no.
