Because we take great care to keep dangerous firearms out of the hands of psychos and nutjobs, unlike in the USA where you give away guns to anyone, including psychos and nutjobs who actualy DO walk into schools, malls, churches, theatres and murder people. If you like I'll start a thread called "Meanwhile in America" Every time you post in Europe forum about a shooting in the UK, I'll scan the internet for how many "law abiding" US gun owners have shot each other that day/week/month, for comparison.
Go ahead....but to be accurate, you will have to post the prior arrest records of the criminals...the way I do when I report on the repeat gun offenders who are the actual shooters.....who are arrested over and over again in democrat party controlled cities by the police...only to be released, no matter how many gun offenses they commit...by democrat party judges, politicians, and prosecutors...
See....I already do what you propose....except I am not lying about who they are...they are not law abiding gun owners....they are career criminals with long histories of crime and violence who are not allowed to buy, own or carry guns....
These criminals do 95% of our gun crime....and almost all of their victims are other criminals.....and of the rest, the majority of those victims are the friends, and family and associates of the gang members caught in the crossfire.....the children and baby mommas and neighbors who live next to the gang members....
Meanwhile, in the rest of the U.S.......
As more Americans own and carry guns over the last 27 years...
Gun murder has gone down 49%.......
How do you explain that?
Over the last 27 years, gun crime has gone down 75%......
How do you explain that?
Over the last 27 years, we went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 19.4 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2019...guess what happened...

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.
This means that access to guns does not create gun crime........
Why do our democrat party controlled cities have gun crime problems?
1) the democrat party keeps releasing violent gun offenders...they have created a revolving door for criminals who use guns, and will release even the most serious gun offenders over and over again....why? Probably because they realise that normal people don't use their guns for crime, so if they want to push gun control, they need criminals to shoot people.....so they keep releasing them....
2) The democrat party keeps attacking the police.....driving the officers into not doing pro-active policing, cutting detective forces so that murders go unsolved..........
