They had less before they passed strict gun laws too. The UK had less gun crime also a century ago than now when their laws were similar to ours and guns were readily available. Gun laws have no effect on killers.
There are around 200 times as many people killed by guns in the US compared to the UK, even considering the difference in population that is a HUGE difference, until the US comes anything like as close as all other first world countries I wouldn't be comparing if I were you, it just makes you look daft.

The US is at least 200 times bigger than the UK in both size and population. Not to mention the fact that most gun crimes in the US are localized in major (and I add democratic) states and cities. Plus, your stat is incorrect. The US has roughly 11 gun deaths total per 100,00 while the UK has .23. Hardly 200 times more.

What! Are you sure! I thought it was 5 times the population yet 200 times as many gun deaths!! You might want to check your facts!
We already have a lot of illegal gun control laws that don't work to curtail PEOPLE COMMITTING CRIME. Enforce existing laws, don't make more new ones that only restrict the law abiding.
