Compare that number to the 1,500,000 times a year, according to the DoJ, that guns are used defensively by intended victims to stop violent crime. Constantly talking about how many people have been killed while ignoring how many have been saved is profoundly dishonest.

The rate of violent crime in the USA is around 640 per 100,000 while in the UK it is closer to 2,500 per 100k.

Clearly banning guns doesn't lower violent crime. In fact, in the UK, after they banned guns, violent gun crime skyrocketed.... because the criminals knew that their victims were disarmed.
