Year 2003, 163 deaths from firearms in the UK.
Year 2003, 30126 deaths from firearms in the USA. 

Factor of 184+, hmm.  You wouldn't happen to have population figures
for 2003 for the two countries?

You don't get it.  You can't "give the English their guns back".  I
never owned a gun, you can't give back what I never had.

I didn't write what you're responding to, but I don't think it was
talking about individuals, but rather the people as a whole.

Now, if the English have never owned firearms individually on a large
scale since they became definably English, you would have a point.  (I
have no idea whether that's actually so or not.)

And I don't want to own a gun.  And I don't want to live in a country
where so many people don't feel safe unless they're carrying a gun
and have guns in the house.

Right with you there.  It's one of the reasons I'm not interested in
moving to the USA.
