I wonder if guns as a deterrence is factored into that stat in any way, or if they're even more beneficial than that stat alone would suggest.

No, the opposite is true.

Usually crime is reported, due to there being a victim. Self defense isn't because the person refused to be a victim.

Yes. I imagine the net effect would be several times greater benefit to society, all things considered.

One thing is certain.. guns in the hands of everyone is healthier than guns in the hands of just bad people.
