I also think that although guns are legal in the US, it doesn’t give people the right to shoot people as they please. I'm also from the UK and gun crime is next to none because they are illegal here. Making guns illegal in the US won’t make much of a difference in the short term, because they are so widely available and so many people have them. It may affect the crime and violence rates in the long run though.
Is the crime with other types of weapons lower then the US? You also have to remember the US is a ton bigger then the UK so crime rates are going to lower no matter what. But thats for another discussion
