Considering that ‘gun deaths’ include accidents, suicides, homicides and deaths as a result of law enforcement officers carrying out their duties, I THINK YOU NEED TO RECONSIDER YOUR COMMENT.
"Gun deaths" are only part of the total crime picture. Focusing just on "gun deaths" paints a misleading picture. (I'm absolutely certain that some people, such as Piers Morgan, do this quite deliberately.)
The UK has a lower "gun death" rate than the US but also has a much higher rate of violent crime. Disarming victims gives criminals a free hand to assault them with knives, baseball bats, or just their fists. While these crimes obviously don't show up in the "gun deaths" totals, they are still very serious crimes. Banning guns won't eliminate them and can easily be expected to increase them.
