What you would like is a country where only the government have access to guns. And that's also what the government (both in the US and UK) would like. It has nothing to do with protecting us or keeping us safe and everything to do with them just wanting to be the group that has a monopoly on the guns. When it comes to the government, the name of the game is power and just about everything that they do is done to enhance it.

I like your trying to spin 11,493 homicides into a good thing, thats still 11,493 people who were killed with a gun in one year.
