I'd like to see some evidence there, please!
You see, the correlation between gun ownership and violent crime is present - at 10% gun ownership, violent crime is at half the levels of gun ownership in the 70-80% region. It makes sense, it's a lot easier to escalate things when there are guns involved.
The murder rate in gun-friendly countries is higher by a few percent (largely insignificant) except in the US where it is literally thousands of percent higher. Switzerland has relatively low gun crime because while the vast majority have guns, they don't have access to ammunition - it's strictly controlled, and the guns/ammunition that is doled out to reservists is regularly inspected and counted to make sure it hasn't been used.
You keep attacking the UK for things, you're obviously just trolling because every single time I read an anti-UK statement in your post, I just think "yeah, but the US does worse" on every single thing you've criticised us for doing.
