Criminals will get guns regardless. The problem is taking guns from people who could stop them

To be fair, there are WAAAAY more guns already in circulation than there.
It would take a long, long, long time to reduce the availability of guns to an appreciable extent

Well of course it was lower in Europe and Australia, Guns are illegal. However what is the crime like in Europe and Australia that doesn't involve a firearm? Look up those stats and report back.

and it is pretty hilarious when you look beyond their "gun violence" statistics
immediately after both countries passed gun bans, crime went up and their violent crime decreases at a lower rate than in the United States
you have to be an imbecile, in denial, or a dishonest agenda driven slimeball to be wowed by this stat.

Differences in population compared to the U.S., and you are referring to two islands as opposed to the size of the U.S. At one point, the UK was trying to ban pointy knives (not sure if this law passed though) because the crazy Brits started stabbing each other.
Plus, the Brits are used to being treated more like Subjects than citizens.

Link? The UK Office for national statistics says that there were 29 gun homicides in 2012-13 and 40 in 2011-12. However, did you know that England and Wales don't count homicides in which someone hasn't been convicted?

The UK has a higher violent crime rate.

I couldn't find anything more recent but here are the figures for 2007:
Australia: 30 homicides by firearms; Number of firearms: 3,050,000
Canada: 173 homicides by firearms; Number of firearms: 9,950,000
England: 41 homicides by firearms; Number of firearms: 3,400,000
Honduras: 5201 homicides by firearms; Number of firearms: 500,000
US: 9,146 homicides by firearms; Number of firearms: 270,000,000
• The US has the highest gun ownership rate in the world - an average of 88 per 100 people. That puts it first in the world for gun ownership - and even the number two country, Yemen, has significantly fewer - 54.8 per 100 people
• But the US does not have the worst firearm murder rate - that prize belongs to Honduras, El Salvador and Jamaica. In fact, the US is number 28, with a rate of 2.97 per 100,000 people
• Puerto Rico tops the world's table for firearms murders as a percentage of all homicides - 94.8%. It's followed by Sierra Leone in Africa and Saint Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean

No King or President since Lincoln--not even LBJ--has marched an army into a US state and took over.
Contrast that with Europe and Latin America.
