England never had really high rates of ownership. They cut the problem off before it became really bad.
A guy gets pissed in Paris Texas, he goes out and buys a gun at any of the dozens of stores that sell them within a mile of his house and kills whoever pissed him off.
A guy gets pissed in Paris France, he can't buy a gun because nobody sells them. He gets over it and everybody wakes up alive tomorrow.
The same scenario plays out 10,000 times a year (in different localities of course). Except while our guy in Paris Texas is killing someone, thousands of pissed off dudes across the face of the globe remain just that; pissed off. They don't become murderers.
England outlawed handguns in 1997.
1996 murder rates per 100,000:
U.S. 7.41 : England 1.12 = U.S was 6.62 times as high
List of countries by intentional homicide rate by decade - Wikipedia
2016 murder rates per 100,000
U.S. 4.9 : England 1.22 = U.S. = U.S. is 4.02 times as high
When they wail on about the England having a lower murder rate than the USA, they already did before they banned handguns! In fact, now the USA has 4 times the murder rate, whereas before England banned hand guns, we had 6.6 times the murder rate. The gap between us has shrunk considerably since England banned hand guns.
In 1920 homicide rate per 100,000: US 6.8 vs. England 0.81
Was that caused by the gun laws England passed over 70 years later?
You're not very smart, are you?A guy gets pissed in Paris Texas, he goes out and buys a gun at any of the dozens of stores that sell them within a mile of his house and kills whoever pissed him off.

I can kill a person with my bare hands, and I'm not even trained to do it.
If I really want to kill someone, I'm not going to let a lack of a gun stop me.
You'll have a harder time doing it. That is why people used guns to kill others, and themselves at an 80% success rate!

No the English come from a long line of people in servitude to a monarch and never even had the chance to have the rights we have in this country.
Americans loathe the idea of bending the knee ( well maybe you don't) but the Brits do it happily

People in prisons have built a shotgun from batteries, bed posts, curtain tape, and a broken light bulb.Or builds one, or 3D Prints and builds one, or buys it off the black market, or borrows it from a friend, or simply never registered. I'd also like to point out that the police's 15 minute response time does nothing to solve this, but hey, at least they can show up and straight-up murder the victim if he defends himself by shooting the potential gunman when threatened.A guy gets pissed in Paris Texas, he goes out and buys a gun at any of the dozens of stores that sell them within a mile of his house and kills whoever pissed him off.
He can build them, buy them off the black market, or just stab people who can't defend themselves because they're following the opinions written on paper and enforced by violence of their authoritarian government. Gosh, it's like prohibition doesn't stop people from obtaining the prohibited items anyway, you know, like how drug laws demonstrably don't work across the US, gun laws don't work in Europe or Chicago, and the prohibition of alcohol didn't actually stop the consumption of alcohol.A guy gets pissed in Paris France, he can't buy a gun because nobody sells them. He gets over it and everybody wakes up alive tomorrow.
See, now because I didn't let your assumptions through, your closing statement looks even more ill-informed. I wonder how many of those could be prevented if authoritarian governments didn't restrict self-defense, and how many of those are suicides, dishonestly counted as "gun violence" or whatever broad and dishonest term you would like to refer to it as. Then again, police are also part of that statistic, they're just not punished for straight-up murdering people, they instead get paid leave.The same scenario plays out 10,000 times a year (in different localities of course). Except while our guy in Paris Texas is killing someone, thousands of pissed off dudes across the face of the globe remain just that; pissed off. They don't become murderers.
Sure...everybody has the stuff to make a gun laying around their condo; 3D printers too!
To call you an idiot is to give you a compliment.
This one was made in the workshop from pieces of steel and match heads:
So, yes, people quite literally have the makings for a gun laying around. It's actually easier than making drugs; That other thing prohibition doesn't work on.
Anyone can buy a 3D Printer(Around $200), and the schematics for guns are available online. I find it hilarious that you didn't bother to look any of this up, yet called me names. This is all, of course, ignoring that you immediately tried to push the assumption that criminals have NO money whatsoever, and have no job with which to make money, just to push your false narrative because you know you're wrong. You also seem to be under the impression that some sociopaths writing on a piece of paper, then telling their mercenaries that this opinion written on said piece of paper shall now be enforced, actually prevents people from doing said things. No, it only means that IF they catch you, they'll respond in roughly 15 minutes to initiate violence against you. Your Lord and Savior, Government, is not omnipotent.
And they print the gunpowder too...dumbass.
Here are the facts about violent crime in Western Europe, Australia, and the US. I'll take the US.
The most violent country in Europe: Britain is also worse than South Africa and U.S.
By James Slack
UPDATED:18:14 EST, 2 July 2009
Britain's violent crime record is worse than any other country in the European union, it has been revealed.
Official crime figures show the UK also has a worse rate for all types of violence than the U.S. and even South Africa - widely considered one of the world's most dangerous countries.
The figures comes on the day new Home Secretary Alan Johnson makes his first major speech on crime, promising to be tough on loutish behaviour.
The U.S. has a violence rate of 466 crimes per 100,000 residents, Canada 935, Australia 920 and South Africa 1,609.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling said: 'This is a damning indictment of this government's comprehensive failure over more than a decade to tackle the deep rooted social problems in our society, and the knock on effect on crime and anti-social behaviour.

We have 30,000 gun deaths a year.
All of your cooked numbers pale in significance.
Yeah that happens all the time right?A guy gets pissed in Paris Texas, he goes out and buys a gun at any of the dozens of stores that sell them within a mile of his house and kills whoever pissed him off.
A guy gets pissed in Paris France, he can't buy a gun because nobody sells them. He gets over it and everybody wakes up alive tomorrow.

Do you actually think that every murder was immediately preceded by the purchase of a gun?
Do you even know if most murders are committed with legally purchased guns or illegally purchased guns?
Do illegal gun owners commit most gun crime?
I’m sure the INCEL sometimes steals the gun from their parents room or just murders them like in the case of Adam Lanza (gun nut and nut in general).
Ya mean like white nationalists?Murder is the stupidest crime to commit, so naturally stupid people commit it the most.

It highlights the superiority of their system and the weakness in ours.
