Yeah. And the UK has no gun crime because of it... oh wait... it's gone UP since the ban.
In my home country (not UK) less than 4% of the population owns a gun and I actually feel safer than I ever would/did in the USA...
And guess what, criminals around here typically also don't carry guns!
Just to be clear here, I've been to the military as well and loved to handle guns there - still I would only in very rare circumstances ever consider of buying a gun myself.
How about another statistic to make you feel safe? You are more likely to get stabbed in the UK than shot in the US. Guns aren't the problem; people are.
